Abstract

In this paper we present a self-consistent concept of ERL generated e-beam to drive an array of X-ray FELs. We use electron-Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (eRHIC) [1] at BNL as an tool to explore all relevant beam dynamics. First, we study effects of incoherent and coherent synchrotron radiation on the e-beam parameters and present the set of parameters providing for the emittance preservation. Second, we present a single stage bunch compressing scheme with large compression ratio, which suppresses emittance growth caused by CSR. Finally, we present simulation result for soft and hard X-ray FELs driven by such electron beam. We compare projected performance of such facility with world's existing and proposed FEL facilities.
