Abstract

In this paper, we report results of simulations, in the framework of both EuPRAXIA (Walker, 2017) and EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB (Ferrario, 2018) projects, aimed at delivering a high brightness electron bunch for driving a Free Electron Laser (FEL) by employing a plasma post acceleration scheme. The boosting plasma wave is driven by a tens of TW class laser and doubles the energy of an externally injected beam up to 1 GeV. The injected bunch is simulated starting from a photoinjector, matched to plasma, boosted and finally matched to an undulator, where its ability to produce FEL radiation is verified to yield O(1011) photons per shot at 2.7 nm.
