First observations and suppression of multipass, multibunch beam breakup in the Jefferson Laboratory free electron laser upgrade

The multipass, multibunch beam breakup (BBU) instability imposes a potentially severe limitation to the average current that can be accelerated in an energy-recovery linac. Simulation results for Jefferson Lab’s free electron laser (FEL) upgrade driver are presented which predict the occurrence of B...
