Preparations for a high energy gain inverse free electron laser (IFEL) experiment using an undulator and Brookhaven National Lab’s (BNL) Accelerator Test Facility’s (ATF) terawatt CO2 laser are underway. 3D simulations suggest that the experiment will likely accelerate a 50 MeV beam to 117 MeV in 54 cm while maintaining a low energy spread. The helical undulator is currently under construction at UCLA’s Particle Beam Physics Laboratory.
