Description
Laser-plasma accelerators provide high accelerating gradients and are
therefore promising candidates as drivers for next generation brilliant
light sources. The LUX Beamline, developed and operated in a close collaboration of the University of Hamburg and DESY aims at producing spontaneous undulator radiation from
laser-plasma generated electron beams. The BEAST II undulator is
based on permanent magnets and is designed and built for in-vacuum
operation in the LUX beamline. It features a short period
length of 5 mm, a gap of 2 mm and consists of 100 periods. Already
for an electron beam with a kinetic energy of 400 MeV, the produced
X-ray radiation is expected to reach the water window with a wave-
length of 4 nm. The contribution will cover the design, construction
and commissioning of the BEAST II undulator.
