Abstract

We consider a new class of high gain FELs based on femtosecond electron bunches with extra high current density produced by Laser Wake Field Acceleration (LWFA). The FELs of this kind can be used for generation of high power femtosecond x-ray pulses. We present the results of simulations of FEL operation with some reasonable beam parameters which will be obtained in future. We focus our attention on the advantages which can be gained from the unique possibility of the use of femtosecond hundred-kiloamperes bunches, generated by LWFA. We also consider the impact of the relatively poor electron beam properties on FEL characteristics.
