	The FERMI FEL requires a major upgrade of the existing linac, which needs to be transformed from being the injector for the ELETTRA light source, to becoming the source for the FERMI FEL. In this work, we present the baseline design, including the integration of the 7 additional systems from the LIL linac, and one X-band station as linearizers. We will present the new layout with the required modifications and additions to the existing infrastructure to meet the more demanding needs of the system. Such modifications include a new RF controller, improvements in the modulator stability and an upgrade to the average power capabilities of the system to operate at 50 Hz. Test results from the characterization of the existing systems will be included, as well as plans for future development.

	We present a summary of the conceptual design for the FERMI FEL project funded for construction at the Sincrotrone Trieste, Italy. The project will be the first user facility based on seeded harmonic cascade FEL's, providing controlled, high peak-power pulses, and complementing the storage ring light source at Sincrotrone Trieste. The facility is to be driven by electron beam from a high-brightness rf photocathode gun, and using the existing 1.2 GeV S-band linac. Designed for an initial complement of two FEL's, providing tunable output over a range from ~100 nm to ~10 nm, FERMI will allow control of pulse duration from less than 100 fs to approximately1 ps, and with polarization control from APPLE undulator radiators. Seeded by tunable UV lasers, FEL-1 is a single-stage of harmonic generation to operate over ~100 nm to ~40 nm, and FEL-2 a two-stage cascade operating from ~40 nm to ~10 nm or shorter wavelength. Photon output is spatially and temporally coherent, with peak power in the 100’s MW to GW range. We have designed FEL-2 to minimize the output radiation spectral bandwidth. Major systems and overal facility layout are described, and key performance parameters summarized.
THOPA01	Formation of Electron Bunches for Harmonic Cascade X-ray Free Electron Lasers	2738

	A relatively long electron bunch is required for an operation of harmonic cascade free electron lasers (FELs). This is because they repeatedly employ a principle when the radiation produced in one cascade by one group of electrons proceeds ahead and interacts with other electrons from the same electron bunch in the next cascade. An optical laser is used to seed the radiation in the first cascade. Understandably the length of the electron bunch in this situation must accommodate the length of the x-ray pulse multiplied by a number of cascades plus a time jitter between the arrival time of the electron bunch and a seed laser pulse. Thus a variation of the peak current along the electron bunch as well as slice energy spread and emittance may affect the performance of the FEL. In this paper we analyze all possible sources affecting the distributions and interplay between them and show how desirable distributions can be produced. Results are illustrated with simulations using particle tracking codes.

THPLS104	Optimization Studies of the FERMI@ELETTRA Photoinjector	3520
	G. Penco, M. Trovo ELETTRA, Basovizza, Trieste S.M. Lidia LBNL, Berkeley, California
	In the framework of the FERMI@ELETTRA project the electron beam characteristics strongly depend from the two operating modes: FEL1 (100nm-40nm) with a photon pulse around 100fs and FEL2 (40nm-10nm) with a long photon pulse (~1ps) having a high resolution spectral bandwidth. We present the multi-particles tracking code results concerning the photoinjector, which includes the RF gun and the first two accelerating sections, describing two possible electron bunch lengths, satisfying the two FEL operation modes. The injector optimization relative to the two options, aimed to produce a very low projected emittance (around 1 mm mrad) with a uniform behavior of the slice parameters (emittance and energy spread) along the bunch, is described in this paper. Moreover sensitivity studies, time and energy jitters estimations are presented for both cases.

	The Elettra new full energy injector will be based on a 100 MeV linac pre-injector, a 2.5 GeV booster synchrotron and two new beam transfer lines. It will replace the existing 1.2 GeV linac injector and transfer line. Full funding was finally available in 2005, which allowed to start, or in some cases to re-start, the construction activities. The status of the project will be presented in this paper, in particular the progress of the fabrication of various components, like magnets, power supplies, vacuum chambers; also the status of the construction of the building and technical plants will be given. Results of recent optimization studies will also be outlined. The commissioning of the new injector is scheduled to start in Spring 2007, while the first ELETTRA operation for user's with the new full energy injector is expected for the last quarter of 2007.
