| 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: | High current CW proton linac accelerators have been recently proposed for a number of applications based on the use of a large flux of spallation neutrons. In this context, an R&D program on an accelerator driven system for nuclear waste transmutation has been recently approved in Italy. Our specific task is to develop, together with the national industry, a design of the high energy part of the proton accelerator, along with prototype development for the most critical components. In this paper we present a revised version of the design proposed at Linac'96, using five cell cavities, rather than the original four cells. This modification, together with a new criterion for using the transit time factor curve for non resonant proton velocities, results in a more modular and efficient design. A 1.6 GeV linac, operated at 25 mA, allows to reach 40 MW beam power. The beam power upgrade is achievable using additional couplers per cavity. (5 References). |
