The Fresh-slice technique improved the performance of several Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission Free-Electron laser schemes by granting selective control on the temporal lasing slice without spoiling the other electron bunch slices. So far, the implementation required a special insertion device to create the beam yaw, called dechirper. We demonstrate a novel scheme to enable Freshslice operation based on electron energy chirp and orbit dispersion that can be implemented at any free-electron laser facility without additional hardware.
