Abstract

The report contains the description of operating performances and current status of the experimental facility that has been developed and constructed in view of experimental study both wake-field generation in plasma and shaping high-brightness intensive electron beams. The facility consists of the S-band linac LIC (Laser Injector Complex), the plasma source and special equipment for measurement of beam and plasma characteristics. The combination of an RF gun with accelerating section operating at the 1-st spatial harmonic makes it possible to obtain electron beam with energy 13-18 MeV, normalized emittance better than 30 π mm·mrad and density of particles in each bunch ~11^-10 cm^-3. Now the facility is used for studying the electron focusing in plasma by transverse components of wake-fields
