“…We plan to monitor the trajectory of the photons with Beam Position Monitors (BPMs) along the line. These BPMs are composed of four metallic blades collecting a drain current from intercepting the very edges of the beam [20] in order to have minimal diffraction and absorption effects. We expect to have a spatial resolution of approximately two microns RMS [30] from the reference.…”

EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB is a new Free Electron Laser (FEL) facility that is currently under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of the INFN. The electron beam driving the FEL will be delivered by an X-band normal conducting LINAC followed by a plasma wakefield acceleration stage. It will be characterized by a small footprint and will deliver ultra-bright photon pulses for experiments in the water window to the user community. In addition to the soft-X-rays beamline already planned in the project, we propose the installation of a second photon beamline with seeded FEL pulses in the range between 50 and 180 nm. Here, we will present the FEL generation scheme, the layout of the dedicated beamline and the potential applications of the FEL radiation source in this low energy range.

“…The first designed FEL beamline, called AQUA [20][21][22], will operate in the water window at 3-4 nm, as required by the EuPRAXIA design study, according to the beam parameters reported in Table 1. This beamline will use the full undulator length available to the project and very high quality electron beams.…”

“…In the downstream tunnel a 40 m long undulator hall is shown, where the undulator chain will be installed [16]. Further downstream after a 12 m long photon diagnostic section [17] the users hall is shown [18]. Additional radiation sources as THz and γ-ray Compton sources are foreseen in the other shown beam lines.…”

On the wake of the results obtained so far at the SPARC_LAB test-facility at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (Italy), we are currently investigating the possibility to design and build a new multi-disciplinary user-facility, equipped with a soft X-ray Free Electron Laser (FEL) driven by a ∼1 GeV high brightness linac based on plasma accelerator modules. This design study is performed in synergy with the EuPRAXIA design study. In this paper we report about the recent progresses in the on going design study of the new facility.

“…The unique FEL features (energy range, time resolution and brilliance) can be exploited in several branches of physics, chemistry, material science and biology. In this paper, we describe the main experimental lines that can be investigated at the EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB FEL [9,10] ( Figure 1). The EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB FEL will provide photon pulses with high intensity, up to 10 12 photons/pulse, down to a wavelength of about 3 nm, in the so called "water window".…”

A proposal for building a Free Electron Laser, EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB, at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, is at present under consideration. This FEL facility will provide a unique combination of a high brightness GeV-range electron beam generated in a X-band RF linac, a 0.5 PW-class laser system and the first FEL source driven by a plasma accelerator. The FEL will produce ultra-bright pulses, with up to 10 12 photons/pulse, femtosecond timescale and wavelength down to 3 nm, which lies in the so called “water window”. The experimental activity will be focused on the realization of a plasma driven short wavelength FEL able to provide high-quality photons for a user beamline. In this paper, we describe the main classes of experiments that will be performed at the facility, including coherent diffraction imaging, soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering and photofragmentation measurements. These techniques will allow studying a variety of samples, both biological and inorganic, providing information about their structure and dynamical behavior. In this context, the possibility of inducing changes in samples via pump pulses leading to the stimulation of chemical reactions or the generation of coherent excitations would tremendously benefit from pulses in the soft X-ray region. High power synchronized optical lasers and a TeraHertz radiation source will indeed be made available for THz and pump–probe experiments and a split-and-delay station will allow performing XUV-XUV pump–probe experiments.
