  In recent years the electrostatic accelerator FEL based in Ariel has undergone many upgrades. By varying the accelerating potential the resonator allows lasing between 95-110 GHz. It is now possible to remotely control the output reflectivity of the resonator and thereby vary both the power built up in the resonator and that emitted. This has allowed fine control over the power for different user experiments. A voltage ramping device has been installed at the resonator/wiggler to correct drops in voltage which occur due to electrons striking the walls of the beam line. This has allowed stable pulses of just over 50 μs with a chirp rate of ~80 kHz/μs.
