Abstract
Design and performance calculations for a coaxial hybrid iron (CHI) wi ggler free-electron laser configuration are presented. The capability of generating high fields at short periods, as well as good beam focus ing properties, make it a desirable configuration for high power coher ent radiation sources in relatively compact systems. In addition to a description of the geometry, numerical calculations detailing the magn etostatic wiggler fields, the beam dynamics, and the interaction of th e beam with the electromagnetic waves in the K-a-band (26-40 GHz) will be presented. Key considerations for the experimental design will be outlined and discussed.
