A dielectric laser accelerator, operating at optical frequencies and GHz pulse rate, is expected to produce attosecond electron bunches with a moderate beam current at high energy. For relativistic electrons, the attosecond bunch has a spatial length of a few nanometers, which is well suited for generating high-brightness superradiance in the VUV, EUV, and X-ray spectra. Our study shows that the brilliance of coherent undulator radiation driven by a short-bunch beam with 1~10 fC bunch charge from a dielectric laser accelerator is comparable to or higher than that of a synchrotron in the 0.1~3 keV photon energy range, even though the beam power of the dielectric laser accelerator is about a million times lower than that of a synchrotron. When the brilliance under comparison is normalized to the electron beam power, the proposed coherent undulator radiation source becomes the brightest source on earth across the whole VUV, EUV, and soft x-ray spectrum.

The recent demonstration of sub-GV/m accelerating fields at X-band frequencies* offers an alternative pathway to designing a compact light source. The high fields were enabled by powering the accelerating structures using short (<10 ns) X-band RF pulses produced via a two-beam-accelerator (TBA) scheme. In this contribution, we present a conceptual design to scale the concept to a ~0.5 GeV accelerator. We present the optimization of the photoinjector and preliminary beam-dynamics modeling of the accelerator. Finally, we will discuss ongoing and planned experiments toward developing an integrated proof-of-principle experiment at Argonne National Laboratory combining the 0.5 GeV linac with a free-electron laser.

  Intense high-energy photon beams (>1 GeV) with multiple outstanding characteristics, such as energy tunability, good directivity, quasi-monochromaticity, etc., offer numerous novel applications in nuclear physics, high-energy physics, and non-destructive material analysis. Potential applications of the high photon energy include protein crystallography, along with searches for Dark Photons and Axion-like Particles. European X-ray free electron laser based on superconductor linear accelerator is able to generate short high current electron bunches at megahertz intra-train repetition rate in the range of 17.5 GeV energy. We employ its capabilities and show the potential of this facility in the generation of GeV photon energy. We employ laser Compton scattering at the spreader of the south branch FEL line and simulate the generation of GeV photon energy
