Recent advances in research
of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) effects during bunch compression
have underscored the importance of this phenomenon in the design of free-electron
lasers and other high-brightness light sources. This talk will give an
overview of present studies of CSR with topics covering CSR related beam
dynamics, benchmark of various codes, and experimental observations. The
recent development of studies on the CSR induced microbunching instability
will also be discussed. This talk also serves as a summary of the ICFA
Mini-Workshop (http://www.desy.de/csr)
which concentrated on computation and modeling of the CSR effect during
magnetic bunch compression.
