Abstract

A theoretical study of electron trajectories and gain in a quadrupole wiggler free-electron laser (FEL) with ion-channel guiding is presented. The relativistic equation of motion for a single electron in the combined quadrupole magnetic and ion-channel electrostatic fields is solved for the steady-state electron velocity components. Next the electromagnetic radiation copropagating with the electron beam in the FEL interaction region is analyzed and an equation for gain in the low-gain-per-pass limit is then derived. The results of a numerical study of electron trajectories and gain in the presence of the ion-channel guiding is presented and discussed. It is shown that all orbits of group I are unstable, while group II have stable orbits as well as unstable orbits. Effects of ion-channel guiding on the gain are then investigated and shown that gain enhancement is obtained due to the ion-channel guiding.
