| abstract: | Exponential growth of self-amplified spontaneous emission at 530 nm was first experimentally observed at the Advanced Photon Source low-energy undulator test line in December 1999. Since then, further detailed measurements and analysis of the results have been made. Here, we present the measurements and compare these with calculations based on measured electron beam properties and theoretical expectations. (31 References). |

| abstract: | Construction of a single-pass free-electron laser (FEL) based on the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) mode of operation is nearing completion at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) with initial experiments imminent. The APS SASE FEL is a proof-of-principle fourth-generation light source. As of January 1999 the undulator hall, end-station building, necessary transfer lines, electron and optical diagnostics, injectors, and initial undulators have been constructed and, with the exception of the undulators, installed. All preliminary code development and simulations have also been completed. The undulator hall is now ready to accept first beam for characterization of the output radiation. It is the project goal to push towards full FEL saturation, initially in the visible, but ultimately to UV and VUV, wavelengths. (10 References). |

| title: | Measurements of plasma wake-fields in the blow-out regime |
| format: | conference procceeding |

| abstract: | Initial results from nonlinear plasma wake-field experiments at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) test facility are reported. This nonlinear "blow-out" regime is characterized by the complete ejection of the plasma electrons from the beam channel. The wake-fields in this case are of notably high quality for acceleration of electrons, as the acceleration is independent of transverse position, and the focusing is linear and independent of longitudinal position within the electron depleted region, allowing self-consistent guiding of the majority of the driving electron beam. Initial measurements of the energy gain in a witness beam indicate a positive shift in its energy distribution of at least 0.5 MeV. (9 References). |
