Description
In free-electron lasers seeded by a coherent pulse, the term superradiance refers to a regime in which the seed pulse is consistently shortened by a slippage-dominated interaction with the electron beam. This regime is extremely promising for attosecond X-ray free-electron lasers in particular, as it offers a potential path towards shorter, higher power pulses. We study the practical limits of this regime in two directions. First, we study numerically and analytically the conditions under which superradiant behavior is observed. Second, we study the limits of superradiant amplification, in particular how long this nonlinear interaction can be prolonged for realistic beam conditions.
