Ultrashort x-ray pulse generation by electron beam slicing in storage rings

We propose a new method to generate ultrashort x-ray pulses using focused short low energy (∼20  MeV) electron bunches to create short slices of electrons from the circulating electron bunches in a synchrotron radiation storage ring. When a low energy electron bunch crosses from the top of a high en...
