About the Author

The authors are researchers at the ENEA-Frascati Research Center in Italy. Giuseppe Dattoli has been involved in high-energy accelerators, FELs, and applied mathematics networks since 1979. Andrea Doria's research interests include Cerenkov-based FELs and compact FEL sources in the millimetre and far IR regions. Elio Sabia has been involved in theoretical problems connected with particle dynamics in high-energy electron accelerator-driven FELs. Marcello Artioli works on control systems and computer science.
