  The ultra-cold plasma-based electron source has recently been proposed as an alternative to the conventional photoemitters or thermionic electron guns, which are widely used in today’s particle accelerators. The advantages of the ultra-cold plasma-based electron source lie in the fact that the electron beam extracted from the cold plasma (from ionization of cold atoms) has very low electron temperature, e.g. down to 10 K, and has the potential for producing high brightness and ultra-short electron bunches. All these features are crucial for the next generation particle accelerators, e.g. free electron lasers, plasma-based accelerators and the future linear colliders. In this paper, we will introduce our proposed facility on cold electron source based at Photon Science Institute (PSI) in the University of Manchester.

  The conceptual design of CLARA, a novel FEL test facility focussed on the generation of ultrashort photon pulses with extreme levels of stability and synchronisation is described. The ultimate aim of CLARA is to experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, that sub-coherence length pulse generation with FELs is viable. The results will translate directly to existing and future X-Ray FELs, enabling them to generate attosecond pulses, thereby extending the science capabilities of these intense light sources. This paper will describe the design of CLARA, pointing out the flexible features that will be incorporated to allow multiple novel FEL schemes to be proven.
