  The DEINOS injector will be followed by an accelerator consisting of a LEP-like cryomodule including four 4-cell superconducting cavities. Each of these cavities will be fed by a solid-state amplifier delivering 20 kW in CW operation at 352 MHz. We will use the technology developed by the "Synchrotron SOLEIL" RF team, consisting of merging the power of numerous independent 330 W modules. The design of the low level RF system will be based on our experience with the ELSA accelerator.

  Dedicated focal spot size measurements carried out at the ELSA electron linear accelerator facility have provided detailed data which are suitable for benchmarking of different simulation codes for high charge bunch beam acceleration issued from an RF photo-injector source. We present some characteristic features of bunched electron beam propagation from beam formation at the photo-cathode to acceleration through RF cavities until the final focussing on a target, by using numerical simulations obtained with MAGIC, PARMELA, MAFIA, PARTRAN tool box codes. The challenges for the planned benchmarking are discussed.

  A new laser oscillator has been developed for the ELSA photoinjector. It is a fibered-diode-pumped mode-locked Nd:YVO4 laser, with a completely passive cooling design. Mode-locking is achieved by a saturable absorber mirror. Such a passive laser oscillator must be synchronized with the ELSA electron bunches. A phased-locked loop has been developed for that purpose. We present the main design aspects resulting from the high stability requirement of ELSA. The first electron spectra measurements show the high level of energy stability achieved. We also present improvements in the laser injection system leading to a higher transverse stability, a more uniform cathode illumination, and a better transmission of the whole system.
