MOPC83 | Evolution of Electron Beam Phase Space Distribution in a High-gain FEL | 208 |

FEL-based coherent electron cooling offers a new avenue to achieve high luminosities in high energy colliders such as RHIC, LHC, and eRHIC. Traditional FEL treatments treat the FEL as an amplifier of optical waves with specific initial conditions, and obtain the resulting field. This new approach requires knowledge of the phase space distribution of the electron cloud in the FEL. We present 1D analytical results for the phase space distribution of an electron cloud with an arbitrary initial current profile, and discuss approaches of expanding to 3D results. |
