At the front end of the linac in the FEL, the bunch length is long and has<br />

a small momentum spread which is analogous to an initially displaced bunch in<br />

transverse phase space. From Eq. (3.4), inducing a correlation between the phase<br />

space variables requires a lens for focusing. In practice this is achieved by running<br />

the bunch off-crest of the accelerating RF waveform. That is, the effect of the linac<br />

on the longitudinal phase space is analogous to the effect of a focusing element<br />

in transverse phase space. In order to rotate the phase space for bunch length<br />

compression, the analog of a drift in the transverse phase space, Eq. (3.3), is required.<br />

This rotation in longitudinal phase space is achieved with a bend with nonzero<br />

momentum compaction, M56.
