Plasma boosted electron beams for driving Free Electron Lasers.
2018
In this paper, we report results of simulations, in the framework of both EuPRAXIA \cite{Walk2017} and EuPRAXIA@SPARC\_LAB \cite{Ferr2017} projects, aimed at delivering a high brightness electron
bunchfor driving a
Free Electron Laser(FEL) by employing a plasma post acceleration scheme. The boosting plasma wave is driven by a tens of \SI{}{\
tera\watt} class laser and doubles the energy of an externally injected beam up to \GeV{1}. The injected
bunchis simulated starting from a
photoinjector, matched to plasma, boosted and finally matched to an undulator, where its ability to produce FEL radiation is verified to yield $O(\num{e11})$ photons per shot at \nm{2.7}.
