Abstract

ARC-EN-CIEL (Accelerator-Radiation Complex for Enhanced Coherent Intense Extended Light), the French project of a fourth generation light source, aims at providing the user community with tunable, adjustable polarisation, coherent femtosecond light pulses covering from UV to soft X ray. A CW superconducting linear accelerator will deliver high charge, subpicosecond, low emittance electron bunches with a high repetition rate (1 kHz). Calculations (using ASTRA and CSRTrack) are presented and are focused on the optimization of the total and the slice emittance by varying the laser pulse length. The FEL is based on the injection of High Harmonics Generated in Gases (HHG) in a High Gain Harmonic Generation scheme, leading to a rather compact solution. The produced radiation (calculated with PERSEO and SRW) extending down to 0.8 nm with the Non Linear Harmonics reproduces the good longitudinal and transverse coherence of the harmonics in gas.
