Abstract Tapering Enhanced Stimulated Superradiant Amplification (TESSA) is a scheme developed at UCLA to increase efficiency of Free Electron Laser (FEL) light from less than 0.1% to above 10% using strongly tapered undulators and prebunched electron beams. Initial results validating this method have already been obtained at 10-um wavelength at Brookhaven National Laboratory. In this paper we will discuss the design of an experiment to demonstrate the TESSA scheme at high gain and shorter wavelength (266 nm) using the Linac Extension Area (LEA) beamline at the Advanced Photon Source of Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) to obtain conversion efficiencies around 10% depending on the length of the tapered undulator (up to 4m).
