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.

Abstract The work addresses the use of electron beam produced by the linear induction accelerator to generate terahertz radiation pulses of 100 MW power level based on a free electron laser scheme. The beam parameters required for efficient generation are given. The features of transverse beam dynamics when transporting the beam through the linac are investigated. Emphasis is put on the electron injector which geometry and operation parameters mainly determine the beam characteristics at the linac exit. Most of the possible factors contributing to the beam emittance gain in the accelerator are considered. The obtained analytical estimates are compared to the numerical simulation results. The experimental results on compressing and transporting the beam having the electron energy of 5 MeV and the current of 1 kA in the transport system of free electron laser are presented.
