Abstract :
The goal of the revised ELFA project (Electron Laser Facility for Acceleration) is to operate with short bunches a high-gain free electron laser. The paper describes the main components of the experiment and discusses the choice of the parameters for the linac, the electromagnetic wiggler, the microwave generator, the waveguide and the beam and radiation diagnostics
