Abstract

LUNEX5 is a French FEL test facility project based on two types of accelerators: aConventional Linear Accelerator (CLA) and a Laser WakeField Accelerator (LWFA) [1, 2]. TheFEL performances will be presented at 20 nm, 17 nm and 12 nm, wavelengths of interest forthe pilot experiments. Results are obtained with GENESIS simulations in time-dependent mode[3]. At 400 MeV, the nominal energy, we compare different seeded schemes as EEHG scheme(Echo EnabledHarmonicGeneration) [4] or HGHG scheme (High Gain Harmonic Generation) [5]using HHG source (High HarmonicGeneration in Gas) [6, 7]. At 220 MeV (first phase of theCLA), we test the EEHG performances at 17 nm, using 800 nm laser seeds. In parallel, LWFAFEL performances are presented as a function of the electron bunch characteristics, inparticular the bunch length and the energy-spread.
