Explanation of the Instability
CSR wake looks like the derivative of the longitudinal density
Any density clump causes a local derivative-like feature in the CSR wake
Head of clump is accelerated, tail is decelerated
A particle that gains (losses) energy in a dipole falls back (moves ahead)
Thus, the clump is amplified, which amplifies the CSR wake, ...
