Externally injected, 19MeV electrons were accelerated to 2GeV**. Based on these results, we are assembling a physics and experiment program aiming at producing a multi-GeV electron bunch with emittance and energy spread sufficiently low for possible early applications to high-energy physics experiments. Plans include two plasmas, the first for SM, the second for acceleration, and of scalable length, separated by an injection region. The first plasma includes a density step to maintain large-amplitude wakefields after saturation of the SM process. Seeding of the SM process may be obtained from an electron bunch. The 150MeV witness electron bunch from an S-band gun, X-band linac has parameters that produce plasma electron blow out and loading of the wakefields in order to minimize final energy spread and emittance***. We are studying the possibility of using a helicon plasma source for the accelerator, a source that can in principle be very long (100s of m).}}, }
