The project is under way to develop a key enabling technology for highpower CW FEL: an RF photoinjector capable of producing continuous average current greater than 100 mA. The specific aim is a n-mode, normalconducting IW photoinjector, 3 nC of bunch charge, 100 mA of current (at 33.3-MHz bunch repetition rate) and emittance less than 10 mm-mad. This level of performance will enable robust 100-kW-class FEL operation with electron beam energy <100 MeV, thereby reducing the size and cost of the FEL. This design is scalable to the MW power level by increasing the electron bunch repetition rate to a higher value. The major challenges are emittance control and high heat flux within the CW 700-MHz RF cavities. Results of RF cavity design and cooling schemes are presented, including both high-velocity water and liquid-nitrogen cooling options.
