  One of the concepts for the next generation of linac-driven FELs is a CW superconducting linac driving an electron beam with MHz repetition rates. One of the challenges for next generation FELs is improve the stability of the x-ray pulses by improving the shot-to-shot stability of the energy, charge, peak current, and timing jitter of the electron beam. A high repetition rate FEL with a CW linac presents an opportunity to use a variety of broadband feedbacks to stabilize the beam parameters. We present results on using this model to understand and predict the potential stability of such a machine. We also describe how we are implementing an SVD approach for broadband beam-based feedback to improve stability.
