Abstract :
We discuss an electron-positron linear collider B-Factory using Inverse Free Electron Lasers (IFEL) to accelerate the beams. The requirements on luminosity, larger than 1033 cm-2 s-1, and energy spread of a B Factory introduce stringent conditions on the accelerator and the interaction region. We study the longitudinal dynamics through the IFEL, the efficiency of the acceleration process, and the ratio of particles which become accelerated, and fall within the resonance. The device is found to perform well in the presence of large variations in the laser field intensity over the beam. We also discuss the laser system powering the IFEL, and some of the system tolerances
