E Bebop
E · F♯ · G♯ · A · B · C♯ · D · D♯
The dominant bebop scale is E Mixolydian with an extra major seventh added as a chromatic passing note, making eight notes in total. That extra note is what keeps the chord tones landing on strong beats when you run the scale in eighths — the whole point of E Bebop. Core jazz vocabulary, and best learned by playing it over a dominant seventh chord.
