A particular seeded configuration will be tested in 2006 on the SCSS test facility (SPring-8 Compact Sase Source, Japan). This facility is based on a thermionic cathode electron gun (1 nC), a C-band LINAC (5712 MHz, 35 MV/m) and two in-vacuum undulators (15 mm of period). The maximum electron beam energy is 250 MeV and the SASE emission from visible to 60 nm can be obtained. The external source, obtained by the High order Harmonic Generation (HHG) process, can be tuned from the 3th (260 nm) to the 13th harmonic (60 nm) of a Ti: Sa laser generated in a gas cell. The experiment contains a first chamber, dedicated to harmonic generation and a second one for harmonic beam diagnostics and adaptation of the harmonic waist in the modulator. The tests have been performed in Saclay (15 mJ, 10 Hz, 50 fs). An energy of 2e-6J with a high stability for the 3th harmonic and a good transversal shape with an optimized energy level and a high stability for the 13th harmonic have been obtained at the modulator center place. The performances using PERSEO, GENESIS and SRW will be updated. The chambers will be installed on the SCSS test facility in the beginning of July for seeding tests during summer.
