Funding: Czech Science Foundation (Project No. P205/11/1165), the Czech Republic's Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports to ELI-Beamlines (CZ.1.05/1.1.00/483/02.0061) and OPVK CZ.1.07/2.3.00/20.0087). We will be giving an overview on the development of the 'ELI-Beamline facility', which will be a high-energy, repetition-rate laser pillar of the ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure) project. It will be an international facility for both academic and applied research, slated to provide user capability since the beginning of 2016. The main purpose of the facility is the generation and applications of laser driven high-brightness X-ray sources and accelerated particles (electrons, protons and ions). The laser system will be delivering pulses with length ranging between 10 and 150 fs and will provide high-energy Petawatt and 10-PW peak powers. We will concentrate on the development of short photon wavelength (20 eV-100 keV) laser driven sources and their practical implementation. The sources are either based on direct interaction of the laser beam with a gaseous or solid target or will first accelerate electrons which then will interact with laser produced wigglers or directly injected into undulators. The main planned short pulse laser driven x-ray sources and their parameters will be presented together with requirements on the relevant beam detectors. |
