Hopkins, D B; Sessler, A M

For this workshop, we review the status of free electron laser (FEL) research being conducted at LBL and LLNL as part of a broader program of research on two beam accelerators (TBAs). We discuss measurements made on high power 35 and 138 GHz FELs and their problem areas. Experience with 35 GHz accelerator section fabrication is summarized. Induction accelerator-driven FELs for use as power sources for high-gradient accelerators are discussed, along with preliminary cost estimates for this type of power source. Finally, a promising new version of an FEL/TBA is discussed. 22 refs., 7 figs., 5 tabs.
