Beam break-up and resistive wall instability in a steady-state free electron laser in the microwave regime

  • 1. National Lab. for High Energy Physics (KEK), Ibaraki (Japan)

Description

The beam break-up instability and resistive wail instability caused by interaction between beam and induction gap, vacuum chamber wall, in a steady-state free electron laser in the microwave regime are considered. The large energy spread induced by free electron laser performance is theoretically proved not to lead to Landau damping of both instabilities when the synchrotron frequency is of order or larger than the betatron frequency. (This is an intrinsic nature of a steady-state free electron laser). 12 refs
