OSTI ID:954371
The CEBAF five pass recirculating, superconducting linac, being developed as a high power electron source for nuclear physics, is also an ideal FEL driver.The 45 MeV front end linac is presently operational with a CW (low peak current) nuclear physics gun and has met all CEBAF performance specifications including low emittance and energy spread (< 1 * 10^-4). Progress will be reported in commissioning.This experience leads to predictions of excellent FEL performance.Initial designs reported last year have been advanced.Using the output of a high charge DC photoemission gun under development with a 6 cm period wiggler produces kilowatt output powers in the 3.6 to 17 micrometer range in the fundamental.Third harmonic operation extends IR performance down to 1.2 micrometer.Beam at energies up to 400 MeV from the first full CEBAF linac will interact in a similar but longer wiggler to yield kilowatt UV light production at wavelengths as short as 0.15 micrometers.Full power FEL
