| abstract: | ORION will be a user-oriented research facility for understanding the physics and developing the technology for future high-energy particle accelerators. The ORION Facility will bring together the needed resources for performing a wide range of experiments in advanced accelerator and beam physics. The facility has as its centerpiece the Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator (NLCTA) within End Station B at the SLAC Central Research Yard. That site will be modified with the addition of a new high-brightness photoinjector, its associated drive laser and rf power system, a user laser room, a low-energy experimental hall supplied with electron beams up to approximately 60 MeV in energy, and a high-energy hall supplied with beams up to 350 MeV. Facility construction is anticipated to start in October 2003, contingent upon funding approval, and first beam is planned for 2005. The first experiment at ORION, the laser acceleration experiment E163, has been approved by SLAC. In this paper, results are presented on the revised facility layout and design which came out of the 2nd ORION Workshop in February 2003, and the beam physics design of the injector and the beamlines for the low and high-energy experimental halls. |

| abstract: | We present the first observation of self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) in a free-electron laser (FEL) in the vacuum ultraviolet regime at 109 nm wavelength (11 eV). The observed free-electron laser gain (approximately 3000) and the radiation characteristics, such as dependency on bunch charge, angular distribution, spectral width, and intensity fluctuations, are all consistent with the present models for SASE FELs. |

| abstract: | A photoinjector is being constructed in order to produce a pulse train of up to 800 electron bunches, each with 8 nC of charge and a 3.5 ps rms bunch length. The spacing between bunches within a train is 1 s and the train repetition rate is 1?10 Hz. The desired transverse emittance is <20 mm mrad. An rf photo-gun delivers a bunched 4?5 MeV beam which will be accelerated to 14?18 MeV by a 9- cell superconducting cavity and compressed magnetically. Measurements have been done on the beam delivered by a first prototype rf gun; installation of a new rf gun, the 9-cell cavity, and the bunch compressor is in progress. |
