W. van Amersfoort}, title = {Electron-Energy Spectral Measurements in the Large-Slippage Regime}, abstract = {Time resolved electron spectra have been measured at FELIX while lasing in the 8-30 mu m range. Over this wavelength range the slippage, given by the longitudinal coupling parameter, mu(c) = N lambda/sigma(c), varies considerably (0.5 < mu(c) < 3). Limit-cycle behaviour, previously observed in optical spectra [1], is also evident in the electron spectra. Efficiencies of up to 1.6% have been measured. In these cases the output electron energy distribution has a total width of more than 14%! Also presented are measurements of the electron and optical spectra in the case when the electron energy is swept at a rate of 0.3%/mu s while lasing at 30 mu m.}, year = {1995}, journal = {Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section a-Accelerators Spectrometers Detectors and Associated Equipment}, volume = {358}, number = {1-3}, pages = {232-235}, month = {Apr 11}, isbn = {0168-9002}, doi = {10.1016/0168-9002(94)01564-3}, language = {eng}, }
