A tutorial summary of the theory of variable wiggler free-electron lasers as well as a summary of some proposed experiments
Abstract
The theory of variable wiggler free-electron lasers (FEL) is based mainly on the work of Kroll, Morton, and Rosenbluth (KMR). KMR theory treats single particle motion, coupling to the electromagnetic field, the design of an FEL based on the motion of a resonant particle, and the basic stability of the device. Experiments are proposed involving RF linacs, electron storage rings, electrostatic generators, and high peak powers.
