Efficient generation of short and high-power x-ray free-electron-laser pulses based on superradiance with a transversely tilted beam

X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) are innovative research tools able to produce high-power and short radiation pulses for multiple scientific applications. We present a new method to produce XFEL radiation with much higher power and shorter pulse lengths than the ones obtained at standard XFEL faci...
