Abstract
The longitudinal momentum diffusion of electrons moving in a spatially periodic magnetic field of an undulator is investigated, taking into account their initial energy spread. Expressions for the coefficient are obtained and the dependences of the diffusion coefficient are determined both on the distance traveled by the electrons in the undulator and on the value of the initial energy spread of the electrons. The possibility of decreasing the wavelength in X-ray free electron lasers is discussed.
