Design concepts of a storage ring for a high power XUV free electron laser
Abstract
The study of a storage ring capable of sustaining an electron beam of the quality required for a High Gain Free Electron Laser in the vacuum ultraviolet and X-ray region is reported. A method is described for the optimization of the design of the storage ring, where several competing and often conflicting requirements come into play. An example design is presented of a ring that satisfies the required conditions of beam quality and is able to produce coherent radiation at 400 A with tens of megawatts of peak power.
