Abstract

To steer and track electron motion in atoms, molecules, and nanostructures, light pulses with attosecond duration and high repetition rate are required. In this paper, we use the angular dispersion-induced microbunching scheme and a few-cycle laser within a straight section (a few meters) of a diffraction-limited storage ring to generate a coherent high-flux attosecond pulse in the water window region. Simulation results based on the Southern Advanced Photon Source indicate that the proposed method can generate a chirp-free Fourier transform limited pulse with a minimum duration of 50 as, a maximum repetition rate of a few MHz, and a maximum average flux of about 4.4times 10^{11} photons/s/1%Bw.
