We describe a major paradygm shift in in the approach to the production of synchrotron radiation This change will considerably improve the scientific capabilities of synchrotron light sources. The will be based on the Photoinjected Energy Recovering Linac (PERL). This machine emerges from the union of two technologies, the laser-photocathode RF gun (photoinjector) and superconducting linear accelerators with beam energy recovery (Energy Recovering Linac). Linear accelerators are quite widely used as drivers of free electron lasers because of the high peak currents and small emittances which are achievable. In the last few years several research groups [Karyan et. al, Douglas, Gruner et. al.] have been considering the potential of using linac sources for providing incoherent synchrotron radiation. On reason this is not commonly done is that achieving high average currents, on the order of a few hundred mA, has been common place in storage rings but has not yet been achieved in linacs. Recent developments [Neil et. al., Dowell et. al.] have made it seem much more likely that average currents of a few hundred mA can be achieved in linacs with energy recovery. When this beam is passed through insertion devices, the result is a light source of unprecedented high-brightness and short pulse. The femtosecond pulse capability of such a source and special beam manipulations for generating ultra-short bunches aredescribed (in this meeting) by A. Zholents.
