Abstract: We present the anticipated performances of a multi-cell RF injector operated either with a thermoionic cathode or with a gated photo-cathode. By means of a magnetic compression and a Coherent Spontaneous Emission seeded FEL radiating at 100 to 200 mm, the system produces a beam fully bunched with a 200 A peak current at 2 mm.mrad rms emittance. The electron bunch is a few FEL buckets long and phase-locked to the RF so to make this device an ideal injector for second generation plasma acceleration experiments.
