Suppression of microbunching instability (MBI) along high brightness electron beam delivery systems is a priority for Free Electron lasers (FELs) aiming at very narrow bandwidth. The impact of MBI on FEL spectral brilliance is aggravated by the growing demand for multi-user FEL facilities, which adopt multi-bend switchyard lines traversed by high charge density electron beams. This study provides practical guidelines to switchyards design largely immune to MBI, by focusing on the FERMI FEL Spreader line. First, two MBI analytical models [1, 2] are successfully benchmarked along the accelerator. Being the second model flexible enough to describe an arbitrary multi-bend line, and found it in agreement with particle tracking and experimental results, it was used to demonstrate that a newly proposed Spreader optics provides unitary MBI gain while preserving the electron beam brightness.

Many research and applications areas require photon sources capable of producing extreme ultra-violet (EUV) to gamma-ray beams with reasonably high fluxes and compact footprints. We explore the feasibility of a compact energy-recovery linac EUV free electron laser (FEL)*, and of a multi-MeV gamma-rays source based on inverse Compton scattering from a high intensity UV FEL emitted by the electron beam itself. In the latter scenario, the same electron beam is used to produce gamma-rays in the 10-20 MeV range and UV radiation in the 1015 eV range, in a ~4x22 m2 footprint system.**
