Popis: We report on the generation of one- and two-color attosecond hard x-ray pulses at SwissFEL by appropriately tailoring the nonlinear compression of the electron beam. For achieving very short [about 300 attoseconds (as)] and stable single-color pulses, we minimize the collective effects of the longitudinal space-charge forces by strongly compressing the electron beam right before the undulator, utilizing the energy collimator chicane as a third compression stage. For achieving two-color short pulses, we exploit enhanced space-charge forces splitting the beam into two energy components.
