Jefferson Lab is planning a facility for studying ultra-fast dynamic processes, which will have a 1 kW average power IR/UV FEL combined with a 1 nm critical wavelength electron storage ring. Light pulses from the 2 sources will be synchronized at 125 MHz for pump-probe studies in chemistry, physics, materials science, medicine and biology. The FEL operates with pulses as short as 300 femtoseconds, which will provide the narrow bandwidth pump at high peak as well as average power. The FEL is currently operating and will soon be upgraded to operate at 10 kilowatt average power at an extended wavelength range from 250 nm to 10,000 nm. A compact superconducting storage ring has recently been donated to Jefferson Lab, and is capable of stored currents up to 800 mA. In addition to providing spectroscopy capabilities, the storage ring will also support x-ray lithography R and D, including a precision stepper-aligner for training purposes. The facility, which is expected to become available in 200 4, will be described and the capabilities detailed.
