Conversion Efficiencies of Charged Particle Beam Driven Free Electron Lasers

Abstract

The general purpose of this research was to develop sophisticated models of electron beam driven free electron lasers in order to more accurately predict radiation gain rates and fundamental efficiencies. Over the period covered by the contract a number of magnetic field and beam configurations were studied but primary emphasis has been on helical, longitudinal, and planar wigglers with strong guide fields.
