Description
We investigated the versatility of manipulating the nonlinear longitudinal phase space for an electron injector including a VHF gun, bunch compressor cavities and a booster section. The research focuses on minimising the bunch length through RF compression while preserving the emittance produced after the gun. We will present the best results obtained from the OPAL simulations. The findings of this study will provide input to the conceptual design and option analysis for the UK XFEL.
