This work would not have been possible without the outstanding help and dedication of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) technicians the supporting engineers and scientists and the management and administrative staff of the APS. In addition we thank W. Fawley for his help with the simulation code GINGER P. Emma for many insights into the design of the bunch compressor system and the people of the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator for the occasional testing of laser and rf equipment.
