Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 254801 (2009) [4 pages]Measurements and Simulations of Ultralow Emittance and Ultrashort Electron Beams in the Linac Coherent Light SourceReceived 30 January 2009; published 24 June 2009 The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is an x-ray free-electron laser project presently in a commissioning phase at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. We report here on very low-emittance measurements made at low bunch charge, and a few femtosecond bunch length produced by the LCLS bunch compressors. Start-to-end simulations associated with these beam parameters show the possibilities of generating hundreds of GW at 1.5 Å x-ray wavelength and nearly a single longitudinally coherent spike at 1.5 nm with 2-fs duration. © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
