Description
A transport line for laser-plasma accelerated electrons is proposed based on the fixed-field alternating gradient accelerator (FFA) concept. To accommodate the large LPA energy spread and match the beam to a transverse gradient undulator (TGU), the lattice incorporates matching cells with high-temperature superconducting quadrupoles providing gradients up to 220 T/m, along with a compact FFA dispersion creator. This configuration allows strong focusing and dispersion tailoring within a compact geometry. The study represents an initial step toward demonstrating the feasibility of FFA-based dispersion management for LPA-driven light sources, while outlining the requirements of further optimization.
