Abstract
Particle accelerators based on a two-beam acceleration scheme offer a path to high-accelerating fields by p owering the a ccelerating structures using s hort (nanosecond) radiofrequency pulses. In this contribution, we discuss a compact X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) concept based on a ∼ 0.5 GeV accelerator. We present the optimization of the accelerator and FEL process. We also discuss ongoing and planned experiments toward developing an integrated proof-of-principle experiment at Argonne National Laboratory in the vacuum and extreme ultraviolet (V/EUV) regimes.
