  The electron injector at IOTA/FAST is based on a 50MeV RF photoinjector and SRF 1.3 GHz cryomodule to accelerate beam up to 300 MeV. Photoinjector and Cryomodule (CM2) were commissioned separately. CM2 demonstrated world record accelerating gradient > 30MV/m in all cavities. Commissioning of the 50MeV RF photoinjector was successfully done recently. Results of commissioning, status and plans for IOTA/FAST are presented.

A Watt-level average-power gamma-ray source is currently under development at the FermiLab Accelerator Science & Technology (FAST) facility. The source is based on the inverse Compton scattering of a high-brightness 300-MeV beam against a high-power laser beam circulating in an optical cavity. The back scattered gamma rays are expected to have photon energies up to 1.5 MeV. This paper discusses the optimization of the source, its performance and the main challenges ahead.
