The first experimental study is presented of a corrugated wall device that uses wakefields to remove a linear energy correlation in a relativistic electron beam (a "dechirper"). Time-resolved measurements of both longitudinal and transverse wakefields of the device are presented and compared with simulations. This study demonstrates the feasibility to employ a dechirper for precise control of the beam phase space in the next generation of free-electron-lasers.
Articles you may be interested inModifying exciton optical properties in quantum dots with coherent phonons induced by ultrafast optical pulses Time evolution of the coherence properties of excitons in J-aggregates of an organic molecule is studied by femtosecond transient absorption and three-pulse stimulated photon echo peak shifts. The exciton energy correlation function decays to zero by 120 fs single exponential, manifesting an ultrafast rupture of the coherent wave packet motion and the absence of inhomogeneity beyond the 100 fs time scale. Insensitivity of the correlation function to the isotopic substitution of the solvent suggests that the phonon modes of the molecular chain are responsible for the ultrafast dynamics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
