Initial results validating this method have already been obtained at 10 µm wavelength at Brookhaven National Laboratory [2]. We will present the design of an experiment to demonstrate the TESSA scheme at high gain and shorter wavelength (266 nm) using the APS injector linac at Argonne National Labor-atory (ANL) to obtain conversion efficiency of up to 10%. Undulator and focusing lattice design, as well as beam dynamics and diagnostics for this experiment will be discussed. An extension of the experiment to include the possibility of multi-bunch linac operation and an optical cavity around the undulator to operate in the TESSO regime will also be presented [3].
