Note:
1) Peak current estimated from ratio of peak to integrated intensity in the streak camera image; approximately 10 % less than the calculated value assuming a Gaussian with the quoted rms bunch length.
2) Expected energy spread assumes the same increase as for the bunch length
3) Measured energy spread derived from optical klystron spectra
