Abstract
The Accelerator on a Chip International Program (ACHIP), funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation for a 5year period, pursues basic research and development for a super-compact accelerator on a chip, where the accelerating structure is a dielectric microstructure excited by femtosecond laser pulses. The Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) will contribute to this by providing the international collaboration access to the high-brightness electron beams in SwissFEL, where we plan to do a proof-of-principle demonstration of the acceleration of a highly relativistic beam. In this contribution we present the conceptual layout of the experiment, in which we will focus the beam down to sub-micrometer beam sizes. Start-to-end simulation results of the tracked electron beam, and first calculations of the accelerating field of the microstructure will be shown.
