Abstract The desire to resolve sub-femtosecond electron dynamics has pushed FEL facilities to shorter pulse lengths. However, current short-pulse schemes provide low pulse energy and a gain-length limited lower bound on the pulse duration. The X-ray Laser-Enhanced Attosecond Pulses (XLEAP) project at SLAC is designed implement an Enhanced Self Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ESASE) scheme, which produces sub-fs current spikes by modulating and compressing the electron beam. We show through a series of Genesis simulations that the current spike is capable of producing sub-fs pulses with a peak power well above 100 GW. Space-charge induced beam chirp can decrease pulse lengths below 400 as, and multi-stage schemes can increase peak x-ray powers to around 1 TW.
