Control of the micro-bunching instability at SOLEIL and stabilization of the Terahertz...

Relativistic electron-bunches producing the light in synchrotron radiation facilities are complex media. In particular, when the bunch charge is important, micro-structures appear spontaneously inside the bunches, leading to the emission of a strong coherent radiation in the terahertz range. However, these micro-structures generally appear in a very irregular way, and the strong coherent emission...
