The goal of the slicing project at SOLEIL is to provide short (50-100 fs) soft and hard X-rays pulses. The principle is based on the technique demonstrated earlier at ALS. In our case, the naturally suitable phase advances and the horizontal distributed dispersion enable the sliced pulse to be used on several consecutive straight sections. Further separation between the core and the sliced electron beams is obtained by increasing the effective horizontal dispersion using a chicane bracketing the modulator. In the hard X-rays case, the photon beams are separated spatially using a simple slit in a pinhole-camera type configuration while a mixed spatial-angular separation is chosen for the soft X-rays case. This minimizes the amount of parasitic core radiation scattered from the surface of the first focusing mirror. We will first describe the proposed scheme, the impact on the machine and some other issues. Then, photon optics calculation is presented. This takes into account the SOLEIL magnet lattice, realistic parameters of a femto-second laser, peculiarities of spectral distributions of undulator radiation and its diffraction in the range of intensities covering several orders of magnitude.
