基于谐波运行的中等能量X射线自由电子激光研究

In recent decades, there has been an increasing interest in the development of x-ray free electron laser (FEL), known as the fourth generation light source, capable of enabling new areas of science. The presently existing x-ray FEL facilities are working with an electron beam of 5.8-17GeV, which mean large machines with substantial cost, time, and effort requirement. Recently, an x-ray FEL oscillator with intermediate energy electron beam was proposed, where fully coherent FEL radiation with megawatt peak power, in the spectral region of 10-25keV, can be generated with a 3.5GeV electron beam. As a new approach, there are still several issues needs to be addressed, such as thermal loading effects, undulator errors and other imperfections. Therefore, intensive studies of the intermediate energy x-ray FEL oscillator are expected in this grant, by theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. Moreover, new mechanism such as the intermediate energy x-ray FEL amplifier will be developed. It is hoped that our study will be useful for the future x-ray FEL projects in China.
