The current shot-noise of an electron beam is proportional to its average current and the
frequency bandwidth. This is a consequence of the Poisson distribution statistics of particles …

Control of collective properties of relativistic particles is increasingly important in modern
accelerators. In particular, shot noise affects accelerator performance by driving instabilities …

We review physical mechanisms and driving forces behind the microbunching instability in
modern free-electron lasers. Laser heater and alternative methods to fight the instability are …

Shot noise can affect the performance of free-electron lasers (FELs) by driving instabilities<?
format?>(eg, the microbunching instability) or by competing with seeded density …

Shot noise in electron beam was assumed to be one of the features beyond control of
accelerator physics. Current results attained in experiments at Accelerator Test Facility in …

The push to provide ever brighter coherent radiation sources has led to the creation of
correspondingly bright electron beams. With billions of electrons packed into normalized …

A general formulation is presented for deep collective interaction micro-dynamics in
dispersive e-beam transport. In the regime of transversely coherent interaction, the …

Free-electron lasers operating in the UV or x-ray radiation spectrum require peak beam
currents that are generally higher than those obtainable by present electron sources, thus …
