contents The most significant advances in the accelerator-based light sources (i.e., x-ray free electron lasers) are driven by the production of the high final peak current in the last several decades. As a prerequisite to attain the proposed high brightness, the symmetric C-chicane bunch compressor is typically exploited due to its simplicity, efficiency, and natural dispersion-free feature at all orders. However, during bunch compression for a high peak current requirement, a main contributing factor to the transverse emittance degradation is the emission of the coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). Suppressing this effect is necessary to preserve the beam phase-space quality. To this end, this paper presents an analysis of one-dimensional CSR point-kick and derives the cancellation conditions in terms of compression factor. The CSR cancelation conditions indicate an asymmetric geometric design. We demonstrate concrete schemes for asymmetric C- and S-chicanes, and verify the CSR cancelation conditions using integration methods and ELEGANT simulations. Furthermore, the proposed asymmetric C- and S-chicanes can drastically suppress the emittance growth compared with the symmetric ones with identical bunch compression goals.
