  The ALICE facility at Daresbury Laboratory is an energy recovery test accelerator which includes an infra-red oscillator-type free electron laser (IR-FEL). The longitudinal phase space of the electron bunches and the longitudinal transport functions in the ALICE accelerator are studied in this paper.

  In this paper we present an overview of current and proposed FEL developments at STFC Daresbury Laboratory in the UK. We discuss progress on the ALICE IR-FEL since first lasing in October 2010, covering the optimisation of the FEL performance, progress on the demonstration of a single shot cross correlation experiment and the results obtained so far with a Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy beamline. We discuss a proposal for a 250 MeV single pass FEL test facility named CLARA to be built at Daresbury and dedicated to research for future light source applications. Finally we present a brief overview of other recent research highlights.
