BESSY plans to build the BESSY Soft X-ray FEL facility, a second generation FEL for the VUV and soft x-ray range. The TDR was evaluated by the German Science Council and recommended for funding subject to the condition that cascaded high-gain harmonic generation (HGHG) be demonstrated beforehand. To this end, BESSY is proposing the demonstration facility STARS for a two-stage HGHG FEL. For efficient lasing from 40 nm to 70 nm, a 325 MeV driver linac is required. It consists of a normal-conducting gun, superconducting TESLA-type modules modified for CW operation and a bunch compressor. The two-stage HGHG cascade employs variable gap undulators, with the final amplifier being an APPLE-III device for full polarization control. A beamline with user experiment completes STARS, which is planned to remain operational even after the BESSY FEL comes online. This paper summarizes the layout of STARS, the main parameters and the expected performance.

For the ELBE superconducting linear accelerator at Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (FZD) a radiofrequency photoelectron injector with a superconducting cavity (SRF gun) is under development. The SRF gun combines the excellent beam quality which can be delivered by RF photoinjectors with the possibility of continuous wave operation. The superconducting niobium cavity of the injector consists of 3½ cells and contains a Cs2Te photocathode which is normal-conducting and cooled by liquid nitrogen. The RF frequency of the cavity is 1.3 GHz. The final electron energy will be about 9.5 MeV and the average electron current will be 1 mA. In the past years the SRF photo injector has been designed and fabricated. Several critical subsystems have been tested. For the cavity, the results of the RF measurements will be shown. An UV driver laser system has been developed which fulfils the different requirements (77 pC at 13 MHz, 1 nC at 500 kHz) for the future operation at ELBE. A photo cathode preparation system was developed and installed. The equipment is now in operation and the first series of Cs2Te photo cathodes have been produced.
