XFEL: lasing Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) ZFEL

SASE SASE has no longitudinal coherence !
Longitudinal coherence can be realized by Seeding at l1 Various schemes for harmonic generation Making very short electron bunches, i.e. < 1 fs

XFEL: e- beam requirements
FEL power gain length (1 D): High peak current: Ie~ 1 – 3 kA Excellent e- - g transverse overlap: small transversal emittance: Small energy spread: Small emittance and energy spread must be preserved during acceleration !
