Abstract
Slice energy spread is one of the key parameters in free electron laser optimizations, but its accurate measurement is not straightforward. Two recent studies from high energy (≥100 MeV) photoinjectors at SwissFEL and European x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) have reported much higher slice energy spread than expected at their XFEL working points (200-250 pC). In this paper, a new method for measuring slice energy spread at lower beam energy (∼20 MeV) is proposed and demonstrated at the PhotoInjector Test facility at DESY Zeuthen, and the results for 250 pC are much lower than those measured at high energy injectors.
