Funding: [5] R. R. Lindberg, K.-J. Kim, "Intense, coherent x-rays at 40 keV or higher by combining an XFELO and a high-gain harmonic generation," (in prep) US DOE contract DE-AC02-06CH11357 & NSF PHY-1535639 The LCLS-II at SLAC will feature a 4 GeV CW superconducting (SC) RF linac [1] that can potentially drive a 5th harmonic X-Ray FEL Oscillator to produce fully coherent, 1 MW photon pulses with a 5 meV bandwidth at 14.4 keV [2]. The XFELO output can serve as the input seed signal for a high-gain FEL amplifier employing fs electron beams from the normal conducting SLAC linac, thereby generating coherent, fs x-ray pulses with ~TW peak powers using a tapered undulator after saturation [3]. Coherent, intense output at several tens of keV will also be feasible if one considers a harmonic generation scheme. Thus, one can potentially reach the 42 keV photon energy required for the MaRIE project [4] by beginning with an XFELO operating at the 5th harmonic to produce 8.4 keV photons using a 3.1 GeV SCRF linac, and then subsequently using the high-gain harmonic generation scheme to generate and amplify the 5th harmonic at 42 keV [5]. We report extensive GINGER simulations that determine an optimized parameter set for the combined system. [1] "Linac Coherent Light Source-II Conceptual Design Report," SLAC-R-978 (2011) [2] T. J.
