Description
The plasma accelerator-based Free Electron Laser research program at ELI-ERIC (ELI-Beamlines, Czech Republic) intends to utilize the unique qualities of plasma accelerators to build FELs with remarkable brightness, coherence, and pulse length. The program is based on the novel high-power, high-repetition-rate laser system, which is under preparation at ELI-Beamlines. The program entails expanding the LUIS experimental setup to test and validate the performance of the laser-plasma accelerator-based extreme ultra-violet (EUV) FEL, integrating a high-power laser, plasma source, and electron beam transport line with relevant diagnostics to create a comprehensive test bed for the development of the EuPRAXIA LPA-based FEL. The plasma accelerator-based FEL development program at ELI-Beamlines represents an innovative effort to expand the capabilities of FEL technology and open new possibilities for scientific research and industrial applications. In the frame of this report, we provide an overview of the relevant developments at ELI-ERIC (ELI-Beamlines) as well as the main challenges of this program.
