A scientific review of Tang, Jingyi, et al. "Laguerre-gaussian mode laser heater for microbunching instability suppression in free-electron lasers." Physical review letters 124.13 (2020): 134801 . We review the researchers’ evidence that a Laguerre-Gaussian mode laser heater should outperform a Gaussian mode laser heater for microbunching instability suppression.
