Using an emittance exchanger as a bunch compressor

A general architecture of an emittance exchanger (EEX) is considered, where the horizontal and longitudinal phase spaces are exchanged. A family of designs is described which can lead to extremely short final longitudinal lengths, even subfemtosecond. Using higher-order particle simulations, a prefe...
