abstract = {{The production of soft to hard x-rays (up to 25 keV) at XFEL (x-ray free-electron laser) facilities has enabled new developments in a broad range of disciplines. Great potential exists for new scientific discovery at higher energies (42+ keV) such as envisioned at MaRIE (Matter-Radiation Interactions in Extremes) at Los Alamos National Laboratory. These instruments can require a large amount of real estate, which quickly escalates costs: The driver of the FEL is typically an electron beam linear accelerator (LINAC) and the need for higher beam energies capable of generating these X-rays can dictate that the linac becomes longer. State of art accelerating technology is required to reduce the linac length by reducing the size of the cavities, providing for compact, high-frequency, high acceleration gradients. Here, we describe using the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) to facilitate our investigations into design concepts for future XFEL high-gradient LINAC’s in the C-band (~4-8 GHz). We investigate two different traveling wave (TW) geometries optimized for high-gradient operation as modeled at the ALCF using VSim software.*}},
