Deskripsi

A detailed analysis is carried out of the various types of phase errors present in real undulator devices, and their statistical properties. The influence of phase errors on the radiation properties is also examined, distinguishing the effects on peak brightness and integrated flux, and including the effects of electron beam emittance and energy spread. The limitation of the usual expression for the reduction in intensity due to phase errors, based on the rms phase error, is explored, and a new parameter is introduced which correlates better with the reduction in integrated flux. The implications for operation of undulators in future lower emittance storage rings is also discussed.
