Scientific Program


This workshop aims to discuss recent experimental observations, theoretical understanding, numerical modeling, and improved diagnostics related to microbunching instability in high brightness electron beam accelerators.

The list of invited talks and speakers is available here: Program

The workshop aims to cover the following topics:

  • CSR theory, numerical simulations and experimental advances
  • Sources of microbunching at low energy
  • Recent theoretical and experimental investigations of LSC-induced instability
  • Novel results from using a laser heater to improve FEL performance
  • Applications of microbunching instability for producing coherent radiation
  • Update on diagnostic capabilities of microbunching
  • Outlook of microbunching instability control for future FELs

The workshop sessions will start on the 6th of October, 2014, in the early morning and will end on the 8th of October in the afternoon.


Visit to FERMI@Elettra


A visit to the FERMI FEL facility and the Elettra reserach center is in the plan, on the 8th of October afternoon for those who requested it (please select this option in the Registration form if you want to join the visit).

Transportation from the Savoia Excelsior Palace to Elettra and back to the hotel will be arranged for the participants interested to the visit.
