Abstract
Off-axis electron orbits are investigated for a longitudinal-wiggler f ree-electron laser. Orbits are found that are very similar to orbits o ccurring for standard helical wigglers which produce transverse fields and these orbits can be classified as group-I, group-II, and reverse- group-II orbits. These orbits are shown to be stable in both first and second order from Liapounov's first stability theorem. The stability is verified with numerical simulations.
