  EMMA (Electron Model for Many Applications) is a prototype non-scaling electron FFAG hosted at Daresbury Laboratory. After a recent demonstration of acceleration in the serpentine channel, the injected EMMA beam was further studied. This entails the continuation of the exploration of the large transverse and longitudinal acceptance and the effects of slower integer tune crossing on the betatron amplitude. A single closed orbit correction that is effective at multiple momenta (and hence over a significant range in tune space) was implemented. A comparison with a detailed model based on measured field maps, and the experimental mapping of the machine by relating the initial and final phase space coordinates was also done. These recent results together with more practical improvements such as injection orbit matching with real-time monitoring of the coordinates in the transverse phase space will be reported in this paper.

  EMMA is the world’s first non-scaling FFAG, based at Daresbury Laboratory. EMMA has a very large acceptance and has demonstrated acceleration in the serpentine channel. PRISM (Phase Rotated Intense Slow Muon source) is a next generation muon to electron conversion experiment aiming to obtain intense quasi-monochromatic low energy muon beams by performing RF phase rotation in an FFAG ring. Current baseline design for PRISM applies the scaling FFAG ring, but an alternative machine could be based on a ns-FFAG principle. As the transverse-longitudinal coupling is present in ns-FFAGs due to a natural chromaticity, its effect on the final energy spread and beam quality needs to be tested. In order to gauge the expected results, an experiment was designed to be performed on EMMA. We report here the details of this experiment and the results gathered from EMMA operation.

  We report on the progress of phase space tomography research at Daresbury. The efforts over the past three years have been focussed on measuring the electron beam at the ALICE tomography section. Based on this result, we have developed techniques for improving resolution using normalised phase space, removing streaking artefacts by thresholding, demonstrating reliability of reconstructed phase space. We have developed in-house reconstruction codes using both the Filtered Back Projection and the Maximum Entropy Techniques. We are currently using a combination of simulation and measurements to investigate the onset of space charge effects at low bunch charges over short distances.

  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.

  EMMA (Electron Machine with Many Applications) is a prototype non-scaling Fixed-Field Alternating Gradient (ns-FFAG) accelerator whose construction at Daresbury Laboratory, UK, was completed in the autumn of 2010. The energy recovery linac ALICE serves as an injector for the EMMA ring, within an effective energy range of 10 to 20 MeV. The ring is composed of 42 cells, each containing one focusing and one defocusing quadrupole. Acceleration over many turns of the EMMA machine has recently been confirmed. In some cases the bunch will traverse upwards of 100 turns, at which point the effects of space-charge may be significant. It is therefore necessary to model the electron beam transport in the ring using a code capable of both calculating the effect of and compensating for space-charge. Therefore the General Particle Tracer (GPT) code has been used. A range of injection beam parameters have been modelled for comparison with experimental results and those of other codes. The simulated effects of space-charge on the tune shift of the machine are also compared with those expected from theory.
