Dynamics of the Duke storage ring UV FEL

The Duke 1 GeV storage ring will be commissioned this year with a 280 MeV linac-injector. We intend to ramp the energy to 0.7–1.0 GeV for FEL operation. The OK-4 optical klystron will be shipped from the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics to Duke in early 1995. The OK-4 will be the first FEL to operate on the Duke storage ring. This paper is dedicated to the study of the OK-4 performance in the CW mode of operation in the UV range, using a 3-D code developed by the authors.
