Abstract

LUNEX5 (free electron Laser Using a New accelerator for the Exploitation of X-ray radiation of 5th generation) aims at investigating the production of short, intense, coherent Free Electron Laser (FEL) pulses in the 40-4 nm spectral range. It comprises a 400 MeV superconducting Linear Accelerator for high repetition rate operation (10 kHz), multi-FEL lines and adapted for studies of advanced FEL schemes, a 0.4-1 GeV Laser Wake Field Accelerator (LWFA) for its qualification by a FEL application, a single undulator line enabling seeding with High order Harmonic in Gas and echo configurations and pilot user applications. Concerning the superconducting linac, the electron beam dynamics has been modified from a scheme using a third harmonic linearizer and a compression chicane to a dog-leg coupled to sextupoles. Besides, the choice of the gun is under revision for achieving 10 kHz repetition rate. A test experiment is under preparation in collaboration with the Laboratoire d'Optique Appliquée, aimed at validating the computed transport performance of longitudinal and transverse manipulation on a LWFA electron beam enabling to provide theoretical amplification.
