Abstract Free-electron lasers generate high-brilliance coherent radiation at wavelengths spanning from the infrared to X-ray domains. The recent development of short-wavelength seeded free-electron now allows for unprecedented levels control on longitudinal coherence, opening new scientific avenues such as ultra-fast dynamics complex systems and nonlinear optics. Although those devices rely state-of-the-art large-scale accelerators, advancements laser-plasma which harness...
Abstract With gigaelectron-volts per centimetre energy gains and femtosecond electron beams, laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) is a promising candidate for applications, such as ultrafast diffraction, multistaged colliders radiation sources (betatron, compton, undulator, free laser). However, some of these the beam performance, example, spread, divergence shot-to-shot fluctuations, need drastic improvement. Here, we show that, using dedicated transport line, can mitigate initial...
High gradient quadrupoles are necessary for different applications such as laser plasma acceleration, colliders, and diffraction limited light sources. Permanent magnet provide a higher field strength compactness than conventional electro-magnets. An original design of permanent based quadrupole (so-called "QUAPEVA"), composed Halbach ring placed in the center with bore radius 6 mm surrounded by four cylinders capable providing 210 T/m, is presented.

The laser plasma accelerator has shown a great promise where it uses wakefields achieving gradients as high GeV/cm. With such properties, one would be able to build much more compact accelerators, compared the conventional RF ones, that could used for wide range of fundamental research and applied applications. However, electron beam properties are quite different, in particular, divergence, leading significant growth emittance along transport line. It is, thus, essential mitigate via strong...

Laser Plasma Accelerators (LPAs), delivering GeV electron beams in few centimeters, good candidates for future compact sources. However the barriers set by large energy spread, divergence shot-to-shot fluctuations require a specific transport line, to shape beam phase space achieving ultrashort undulator radiation suitable users even...
For an in‐vacuum undulator operated at small gaps the permanent magnet material needs to be highly resistant possible electron beam exposure. At room temperature, one generally uses Sm2Co17 or high coercivity NdFeB magnets expense of a limited field performance.

We propose an approach to the optimization of segmented in-vacuum undulators, in which different segments along undulator may have gaps and periods. This enables close matching between vertical "envelope" electron beam motion a storage ring straight section (carefully satisfying associated "stay clear" constraint) and, at same time, precise tuning all fundamental photon energy. Placing together with periods introduce small kicks trajectories segment junctions, can be easily compensated,...
