Free Electron Laser in the water window with plasma driven electron beams
Abstract
We present an analysis of the FEL performances of several working points belonging to three different classes of electron beams driven by the same infrastructure: two high flux working points are relevant to the operation with a linac up to 1 GeV, while both LWFA and PWFA beams have been considered at this same energy for low charge operation. Soft X rays in single spike mode with fluxes up to 1012 electrons per shot have been found.
