FERMI is a single-pass linac-based FEL user-facility covering the wavelength range from 80 nm to 4 nm and is located next to the third generation synchrotron radiation facility Elettra in Trieste, Italy. The first FEL line in operation (FEL-1) has been opened to users at the end of 2012, while the second FEL line (FEL-2) covering the shorter wavelength range down to 4 nm is in commissioning. In 2013 the linac energy will be increased following the full RF conditioning of the backward traveling wave accelerating structures and of the SLED cavities. The repetition rate has been also increased to 50 Hz following the installation of the new RF gun and the completion of the upgrade program of the klystron modulators. This paper discusses the strategies adopted for the energy and repetition rate upgrade of the S-band linac and provides a description of the status and of the first results.

FERMI is a single-pass linac-based FEL user-facility covering the wavelength range from 80 nm to 4 nm and is located next to the third generation synchrotron radiation facility Elettra in Trieste, Italy. The first FEL line in operation (FEL-1) has been opened to users at the end of 2012, while the second FEL line (FEL-2) covering the shorter wavelength range down to 4 nm is in commissioning. In 2013 the linac energy will be increased following the full RF conditioning of the backward traveling wave accelerating structures and of the SLED cavities. The repetition rate has been also increased to 50 Hz following the installation of the new RF gun and the completion of the upgrade program of the klystron modulators.
