SwissFEL, the Swiss Free Electron Laser facility in user operation since 2019 is a 700m long X-ray FEL delivering femtosecond soft and hard X-ray photons in two parallel beamlines, respectively Athos and Aramis. In order to achieve low emittance and short electron bunches, SwissFEL uses a photo-injector. In that context, the photocathode lasers facility is a crucial subsystem that must seed...
Next-generation electron sources, including novel plasmonic and photonics-integrated cathodes, are poised to revolutionize applications ranging from low bunch charge stroboscopic ultrafast electron diffraction and microscopy to beam-driven wakefield accelerators requiring transversely shaped electron bunches. In this study, we report the generation of a record low root mean square (RMS)...
