Abstract
ARC-EN-CIEL (Accelerator-Radiation for Enhanced Coherent Intense Extended Light) aims at providing the user community with coherent femtosecond light pulses covering from UV to soft X ray in France. It is based on a CW 1.3 GHz superconducting linear accelerator delivering high charge, subpicosecond, low emittance electron bunches at high repetition rate. Phase 1 exploits the different sources of seeding with 220 MeV at 1 kHz, in particular High order Harmonic generation in Gas (HHG), to improve the longitudinal coherence and shorten the output radiation wavelength in a rather compact device. Phase 2 is based on a CW 10 KHz 1 GeV superconducting linear accelerator for HHG seeded High Gain Harmonic Generation (HGHG) extending to 1 nm. In phase 3, fs undulator sources in the IR, VUV and X ray and a FEL oscillator in the 10 nm range will be implemented on two ERL beam loops for beam current or energy enhancement.
