We report here the results of a one week long investigation into the conceptual design of an X-ray source based on a compact ring with on-orbit and on-energy laser-plasma accelerator (mini-project 10.4 from [1]). We performed these studies during the June 2016 USPAS class "Physics of Accelerators, Lasers, and Plasma…" applying the art of inventiveness TRIZ. We describe three versions of the light source with the constraints of the electron beam with energy 1 GeV or 3 GeV and a magnetic lattice design being normal conducting (only for the 1 GeV beam) or superconducting (for either beam). The electron beam recirculates in the ring, to increase the effective photon flux. We describe the design choices, present relevant parameters, and describe insights into such machines.

Plasma wakefields driven inside a hollow-channel plasma are significantly different from those driven in a homogeneous plasma. We investigate the scaling laws of the accelerating and focusing fields in the novel ''crunch-in'' regime [1] [2]. This regime is excited due to the collapse of the electron-rings from the channel walls onto the propagation axis of the energy-source in its wake. This regime is thus the non-linearly driven hollow channel, since the electron-ring displacement is of the order of the channel radius [3]. We present the properties of the coherent structures in the ''crunch-in'' regime where the channel radius is matched to the beam properties such that channel-edge to on-axis collapse time has a direct correspondence to the energy source intensity. We also investigate the physical mechanisms that underlie the ''crunch-in'' wakefields by tuning the channel radius. Using a theoretical framework and results from PIC simulations the possible applications of the ''crunch-in'' regime for acceleration of positron beams with collider-scale parameters is presented.
