In response to requirements for national laboratory technology transfer, CEBAF has proposed an industrial R D initiative: a Free Electron Laser (FEL) User Facility based on an infrared FEL and an ultraviolet FEL, with the injector and the north linac of the CEBAF superconducting, recirculating accelerator serving as drivers. The initiative is a collaborative effort with four U.S. corporate partners and capitalizes on CEBAF's superconducting rf technology. The FELs will provide monochromatic, tunable (3.6 to 1.7 [mu]m and 150 to 260 nm), high-average-power (-kW) light for technical applications and basic science studies. FEL capabilities will be competitive with those of similar initiatives worldwide. FEL operation will not impair beam delivered to CEBAF's nuclear physics experiments. Substational commitments are in hand from the industray partners and the Commonwealth of Virgina for cost-sharing the project with the Federal Government.
