This paper considers design options for a dedicated light source test facility at Daresbury Laboratory in the United Kingdom. The facility layout should be easily configurable to enable exploration of many research themes including: ultrashort pulse generation; seeding and harmonic generation; direct laser/electron beam interactions; compact FELs; high brightness photoinjectors. The strategy is to develop and demonstrate novel concepts and expertise relevant to future generations of FEL-based light sources, significantly shortening the R&D phase of any future light source in the UK. | ||
