摘要:
A system is disclosed for developing a conditioned electron beam of high quality for an exemplary application to a free-electron source of coherent radiation. The system comprises: a source for producing an electron beam of relatively high energy, a microwave source for generating a microwave field, and a wiggler for generating transverse to the electron beam a periodic magnetic field which cooperates with the microwave field to interact with the electron beam and develop a conditioned electron beam of high quality.
