Free electron lasers in the X-ray regime require a good slice alignment along the electron bunch to achieve their best performance. A transverse beam slice shift reduces this alignment and spoils projected emittance and optics matching. Coherent synchrotron radiation, specifically for over-compression going through full compression, and transverse wakefields are major contributors to this. In the case of the large-bandwidth operation, with a strong energy chirp on the bunch, this misalignments furthermore reduce the spectral bandwidth of the FEL pulse. Well-defined manipulation of dispersion allows to compensate for this slice centroid shifts, therefore enhancing lasing power and in case of the large bandwidth mode, spectral bandwidth. This work shows the first application of this correcti on on an X-ray FEL resulting in increase in beam-power and bandwidth. Show Partial Abstract
