Description
The EuPRAXIA project on the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructure roadmap aims for “superior beam quality”, with plasma-based (X)FEL as flagship application. Such superior beam quality and XFELs can be achieved by a combination hybrid plasma wakefield accelerators and the Trojan Horse approach, key components of the “Transformative Innovation Paths” Work Package of EuPRAXIA and the “NeXource: Next-generation Plasma-based Electron Beam Sources for High-brightness Photon Science” ERC project.
This contribution discusses integrated advanced accelerator and XFEL concepts for the foreseen Phase-I (water window) and Phase-II (hard XFEL) capabilities at the Extreme Light Infrastructure, which was recently selected as the LWFA pillar of EuPRAXIA. These concepts can provide the superior electron and XFEL pulse quality required to secure the competitive edge of the EuPRAXIA infrastructure.
