Description
The EuAPS project (EuPRAXIA Advanced Photon Source) aims at realizing an X-ray photon source for users applications. The photons will be produced by betatron radiation mechanism inside a laser plasma accelerator, exploiting an internal injection scheme. The source will produce short pulses of photons in the spectral range 1 - 10 keV for a wide set of applications ranging from imaging to spectroscopy to pump-and-probe. The presence of external users makes the source performances, in terms of photon yield and spectral properties, a paramount factor of merit.
In this contribution, we will show numerical studies aimed at assessing the potential performances employing either plain self-injection or internal injection with the presence of a gas mixture.
