Title: Pulse Compression Via Velocity Bunching with the LLNL Thomson X-ray Source Photoinjector

Conference ·
OSTI ID:15004434

We report the compression of a high brightness, relativistic electron beam to rms lengths below 300 femtoseconds using the velocity compression technique in the LLNL Thomson X-ray source photoinjector. The results are consistent with analytical and computational models of this process. The emittance evolution of the beam during compression is investigated in simulation and found to be controllable with solenoid focusing.
