During the last decade, the production of soft to hard x-rays (up to 25 keV) at XFEL facilities has enabled new developments in a broad range of disciplines. One caveat is that these instruments can require a large amount of real estate. For example, the XFEL driver is typically an electron beam linear accelerator (LINAC) and the need for higher electron beam energies capable of generating higher energy X-rays can require longer linacs; costs quickly become prohibitive, requiring state of art methods. One cost-saving measure is to produce a high accelerating gradient while reducing cavity size. Compact accelerating structures are also high-frequency. Here, we describe design concepts for a high-gradient, cryo-cooled LINAC for XFEL facilities in the C-band regime (~4-8 GHz). We are also exploring C-band for different applications including drivers for security applications. We investigate 2 different traveling wave (TW) geometries optimized for high-gradient operation as modeled with VSim software.
