TUPP010 | Single Pass Free Electron Laser: The Reduced Hamiltonian | |
|
||
We discuss the analogies between two classical models of the single-pass free electron laser dynamics and of the beam-wave plasma instability. Moreover, a formal bridge between the two areas of investigation is established. This connection is here exploited to derive a reduced Hamiltonian formulation for the saturated regime of the free electron laser.A self consistent formulation of the parameters involved is proposed . |

TUPP011 | Multiple Time Scale Theory of Single-Pass Steady-State | |
|
||
The non-linear dynamics of a single-pass, high-gain free-electron laser is analytically studied in the framework of the Vlasov-wave picture. A multiple time scale calculation is performed to derive the well known non-linear Landau equation for the complex amplitude of the unstable mode, which hence exhibits a limit cycle behaviour. The coefficients of the equation are analytically determined as function of a generic initial electron-beam distribution. Numerical results are presented. Possible extensions of this approach to the case of the Harmonic Generation are also discussed. |
