Sumario: | The CompactLight European consortium is designing a state-of-the-art X-ray free-electron
laser driven by radiofrequency X-band technology. Rooted in experimental data on photo-injector
performance in the recent literature, this study estimates analytically and numerically the performance
of the CompactLight delivery system for bunch charges in the range 75–300 pC. Space-charge forces
in the injector, linac transverse wakefield, and coherent synchrotron radiation in bunch compressors
are all taken into account. The study confirms efficient lasing in the soft X-rays regime with pulse
energies up to hundreds of microjoules at repetition rates as high as 1 kHz. |
