Abstract

A nonlinear time-evolution equation for the transverse mode structure of the radiation amplitude in a sheet-beam FEL is derived. Equilibria of this equation are found numerically. Equilibrium mode stability for such FELs is investigated both numerically and analytically, determining stability ranges for single- and double-mode FEL operations.
