25 years ago, Brookhaven Accelerator Test Facility (ATF), sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of High-Energy Physics (HEP), pioneered a concept of a proposal-driven user facility for advanced accelerator research using lasers and electron beams. Since then, the ATF became an internationally recognized destination for researchers to benefit from free access to unique equipment not affordable otherwise to individual institutions and businesses. We will show by examples how collaborative user research achieves high productivity when supported by the ATF's capabilities. Researchers from academia, industry and national laboratories coming to ATF successfully investigate wide range of topics. Recently endorsed as an Office of Science National User Facility and a flagship in Accelerator Stewardship, ATF continues broadening its user community. DOE is now planning a considerable expansion of the ATF's capabilities via simultaneously upgrading the parameters of the e-beam and laser.

  An important challenge in the development of practical X-ray sources based on Inverse Compton Scattering is the implementation of a reliable, increased-repetition-rate operation cycle. To this end, we report the first demonstration of an actively re-amplified CO2 laser intra-cavity ICS source, which matches the electron linac pulse structure at 40 MHz repetition rate. Multi-bunch interaction with 5- and 15-pulse trains was demonstrated, and near linear photon yield gain from multi-pulse interaction was demonstrated. The system shows noticeably higher operational reliability than several contemporary single shot systems, as well as a great potential for future scalability.
