TI - Transverse Gradient Undulator-Based High-Gain-FELs - a Parameter Study J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - Transverse gradient undulators (TGU) have recently been discussed as sources for High Gain Free Electron Lasers (FEL) driven by electron beams with an elevated energy spread as for example generated in storage rings or wakefield accelerators. In this contribution we present the results of a parameter study based on the one-dimensional TGU-FEL theory making realistic assumptions on the key parameters achievable for the transverse gradient undulator. We show for which parameter areas LWFA-driven TGU-FELs are virtually technically feasible today and which technical improvements would be required to employ the concept for a laboratory-scale X-Ray FEL.
