In this talk, I will present a recent review of the state-of-the-art in electron beams for single-shot megaelectronvolt ultrafast electron diffraction and compact light sources [1]. The primary focus will be on sub-100 femtosecond electron bunches in the 2–30 MeV energy range. I will show that our latest simulation and experimental results enable significantly improved bunch parameters for...
Ultra-low emittance and GeV energy scale electron beams can be obtained in the Laser Wake Field Acceleration (LWFA) framework by employing advanced ionization injection techniques, such as the Two-Color and the Resonant Multi-Pulse Ionization injection (ReMPI) schemes. There, a tightly focused, short wavelength (ionization) pulse extracts electrons from a selected inner shells of a dopant,...

Present and future high-energy electron-positron colliders are limited by two effects: the energy required to accelerate the beams and the electromagnetic beam-beam disruption. The Ghost Collider is an innovative concept that circumvents both problems, based on Energy Recovery...
Typically, in accelerator simulations, the interaction of beam particles with material is either neglected or implemented only for specific physics processes. However, beam-material interactions can sometimes be beneficial—for example, in the cooling of muons, the creation of secondary or tertiary beams, or the energy degradation of therapeutic proton beams. In other cases, these interactions...
The Shanghai High-Repetition-Rate XFEL and Extreme Light Facility (SHINE), also known as the Shanghai Hard X-Ray Free-Electron Laser, is a major national scientific infrastructure project in China. It represents a significant milestone in the field of photon science, aiming to provide cutting-edge research tools for exploring matter at atomic and molecular scales with ultrafast temporal...
