On storage rings for short wavelength FELs
Significant advances have been made recently in the understanding of FEL physics and the technology of associated systems. We have witnessed experimental successes in the operation of FELs from the far infrared to the visible and near UV. All of the basic physics of FELs, as advanced up to date, in the small and high gain regimes (including exponential growth from noise, optical guiding, etc.) have been proved experimentally in the near or far infrared. These successes motivate us to explore the design of FEL systems at even shorter wavelengths, in the UV, XUV and soft x-ray regions, assuming that the same physics remain valid at these wavelengths. This paper is concerned with issues in the physics and design of storage rings as drivers of short wavelength FELs. 10 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
