Abstract
to produce amplification. However, our work shows this not to be the case. Here, we present a study of the beam characteristics of a laser-plasma accelerator and the compact ALPHA-X (Advanced Laser Plasma Highenergy Accelerators towards X-rays) FEL. We discuss the implementation of a focussing system consisting of a
triplet of permanent magnet quadrupoles and a triplet of electromagnetic quadrupoles [1, 2]. The design of these devices has been carried out using the GPT (General Particle Tracer) code [3, 4], which considers space charge
effects and allows a realistic estimate of electron beam properties along the beam line. We will present a study of the influence of beam transport on FEL action in the undulator, paying particular attention to bunch dispersion
in the undulator. This is an important step for developing a compact synchrotron source or a SASE free-electron laser [5, 6].
