Status Report on Table Top Free Electron Lasers — •Stefan Becker1, Florian Grüner1, Ulrich Schramm2, Thomas Eichner1, and Dietrich Habs1 — 1LMU Department für Physik, Am Coulombwall 1, Garching — 2FZD, Dresden
World-wide there is a boom in laser-plasma accelerators, where high-intensity lasers produce brilliant electron and ion beams. Together with this development there is an international race on realizing a laser-based free-electron laser (FEL). We give a report on the status of our experiments as well as on our design study (http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0612125). For the latter we consider the entire setup, including PIC simulations of the laser-plasma, over beam transport calculations to the actual FEL simulations, and pay attention to energy chirps induced by space-charge and resistive wall wakefields. We present the design for the first test case in the VUV range as well as extensions towards the soft X-ray and even medically relevant X-ray range.
