Abstract
The present status of the specialized RF linac for the IR FEL project at P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute designed for 20-25 MeV energy and u p to 300 A peak current in 100-200 mus long train pulses is described. The accelerator is based on the scheme of a number of independently f ed cavities operating at 150 MHz frequency and an RF photocathode gun with a UV laser driver with active mode synchronization. The initial p art of the accelerator for 4 MeV has been constructed and now is under test. Results of previous experiments with low-current test beam and modelling of the high-current short-pulse beam behaviour are presented .
