Description

We introduce a closed-form, verified through numerical integration, of the beam energy spread induced by oblique electron-laser interaction in a short undulator, so-called chicane-free laser heater. This scheme is relevant for high repetition rate free-electron lasers, space constrained, or subject to microbunching instability induced by a standard laser heater chicane. A calculation of the instability gain with the proposed scheme is presented to demonstrate its feasibility.
