Abstract
We report on continuing design efforts for a next generation FEL facility, building onthe Wisconsin Free Electron Laser (WiFEL) study [1]. The principal goal is to optimizevalue by minimizing cost while maximizing scientific reach. The most attractive solution isa very high repetition rate cw FEL complex, implemented in phases. The first phase, forsubstantially less than one billion dollars, supports a strong initial science program andallows application of the experience gained and welltested innovations to later phases. Theadditional phases provide an increasingly diverse scientific research program with photonenergies extending to hard X-rays.
