Abstract

The possibility to drive a SASE X-ray FEL using the 6 GeV electron linac foreseen by the SuperB project has been recently considered. In this paper a preliminary design study based on FEL scaling laws supported by HOMDYN and GENESIS simulations is presented. The goal of this work is to provide a preliminary design study of the FEL system, based on state of the art normal conducting technology, suitable to conduct a realistic evaluation of the additional costs required to drive an FEL user facility making use of the SuperB linac.
