7.1 Introduction and Overview<br />

In order to reach SASE saturation in a reasonable length undulator, a high electron peak<br />

current is required. For a radiation wavelength of 1.5 Å, an undulator period of 3 cm, and an<br />

undulator parameter of K ≈ 3.7, the desired electron beam should have a peak current of 3.4 kA,<br />

energy of 14.3 GeV, and transverse normalized rms ‘slice’ emittance of ≤1.2 µm. A longitudinal<br />

‘slice’ of the electron beam is defined by the FEL slippage length (~0.5 µm in this case). These<br />

values correspond to an rms bunch length of 22 µm and charge of 1 nC, which is not possible in<br />

present rf photo-injectors due to space charge limitations. Therefore the bunch is accelerated and<br />

compressed in a series of linacs and magnetic chicanes. The accelerator must preserve the<br />

transverse emittance produced by the rf photo-injector. A slice emittance growth of
