Why move the experiment to the NLCTA?LEAP has been hosted at HEPL for the last 4 years and has enjoyed their support. The lack of run time and marginal beam quality will not allow further progress on this experiment at HEPL. Additionally, the future of an accelerator facility on campus is in doubt, as Stanford Campus plans call for the renovation of Hansen and Ginzton Laboratories.
The experimental program described here will require more than two years to complete so the move to a facility with good beam quality and a long-term future is pressing.
The Advanced Accelerator Research Committee met in summer 1999 to examine facilities on the SLAC site for conducting advanced acceleration experiments and concluded that the NLCTA was the best location for such experiments.

Future Potential
The proposed E163 installation at ESB will be a versatile acceleration test facility developed at nominal cost using existing beam facilities at the NLCTA.
Picosecond electron and photon beams with very high energy densities are available together with diagnostics suitable for a broad range of picosecond time-scale experiments. Modularity and versatility have been preserved to insure the facility is broadly usable.
The E163 collaboration plans to make future applications to the EPAC to explore other lithographic accelerator structures.
