| abstract: | We study the time structure, the frequency composition, and the shot to shot fluctuations of the radiation emitted by a free-electron laser starting from shot noise in the electron beam longitudinal distribution, taking into account slippage and finite bunch length effects. We find a very different behavior when the bunch length, l/sub b/, is much longer than the cooperation length, l/sub c/, or of the order of a few l/sub c/. The field evolution is dominated by slippage effects in both cases, and shows the presence of superradiant spikes. (14 References). |

| abstract: | We study the evolution of the FEL radiation intensity and spectrum starting from noise in the electron beam longitudinal distribution. Due to the slippage both the time and frequency structure of the emitted radiation pulse show a very different behavior when the bunch length is much longer than or of the order of the cooperation length l(c). The occurrence of superradiant spikes is discussed. We present analytical and numerical results. |

| title: | A millimeter wave FEL driven by a photocathode RF linac |

| abstract: | We present the design of a millimeter wave FEL based on the UCLA photocathode RF linac. The linac energy can be varied between 5 and 18 MeV. The electron pulse duration is 2 ps FWHM, with a peak current exceeding 150 A. The FEL is designed to operate in the high-gain Compton regime, controlling the slippage with the propagating radiation in a waveguide. The design permits the exploration of the basic FEL physics in this regime, including the exploration of saturation and lethargy in the superradiant and steady state regime. (15 References). |
