Laguerre-Gaussian and beamlet array as second generation laser heater profiles

The microbunching instability is known to be detrimental to x-ray free electron laser performance. At the Linear Coherent Light Source, the microbunching instability is suppressed with a laser heater, which increases the uncorrelated energy spread of e-beam in the injector. While the current system...
