The emerging intense attosecond X-ray lasers can extend the Laser Wakefield Acceleration mechanism to higher plasma densities in which the acceleration gradients are greatly enhanced. Here we present simulation results of high quality electron acceleration driven by intense attosecond X-ray laser pulses in liquid methane. Ultrahigh brightness electron beams can be generated with 5-dimensional beam brightness over [Formula: see text]. The pulse duration of the electron bunch can be shorter than 20 as. Such unique electron sources can benefit research areas requiring crucial spatial and temporal resolutions.

Plasma-based accelerator technology enables compact particle accelerators. In Laser Wakefield Acceleration, with an ultrafast high-intensity optical laser driver, energy gain of electrons is greater if the electron density is reduced. This is because the energy gain of electrons is proportional to the ratio of laser’s critical density to electron density. However, an alternative path for higher energy electrons is increasing the critical density via going to shorter wavelengths. With the advent of Thin Film Compression, we now see a path to a single cycle coherent X-ray beam. Using this X-ray pulse allows us to increase the plasma density to solid density nanotube (carbon or porous alumina) regime and still be under-dense for a Laser Wakefield Acceleration technique. We will discuss some implications of this below.
