Relativistic quantum dynamics and quantum noise in short-wavelength free electron lasers

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A novel relativistic quantum theory of the free electron laser is formulated using the Dirac equation. It is shown that the theory has the correct classical limit. It is predicted that for two-stage free electron lasers, quantum noise can be comparable to the classical noise due to the thermal spread of the beam, or the random initial distribution of electrons in phase.
