  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.

  DAEδALUS (Decay At rest Experiment for δcp At a Laboratory for Underground Science) has been proposed to measure the value of the CP violating phase delta through the oscillation of low energy muon anti-neutrinos to electron antineutrinos. With a single large detector, three accelerators at different distances enable the oscillation to be measured with sufficient accuracy. We have proposed the superconducting multi-megawatt DAEδALUS Supercinducting Ring Cyclotron (DSRC) as the means of producing the 800 MeV 12 mA protons required, through the acceleration of H2+, ions with highly efficient stripping extraction. The DSRC comprises twin ion sources and injector cyclotrons, followed by a booster. The injector cyclotron can also be used for a separate experiment, IsoDAR (Isotope Decay At Rest) in which low energy protons produce Lithium 8, and thus a very pure electron antineutrino source which can be used to measure, or rule out, short range oscillation to a sterile neutrino. We describe recent developments in the designs of the injector and the booster, and the prospects for the two experiments.

  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.

  PIP, the Producer of Interacting Protons, is a low energy (6-10 MeV) proton nsFFAG design that uses a simple 4-cell lattice. Low energy reactions involving the creation of specific nuclear states can be used for neutron production and for the manufacture of various medical isotopes. Unfortunately a beam rapidly loses energy in a target and falls below the resonant energy. A recycling ring with a thin internal target enables the particles that did not interact to be re-accelerated and used for subsequent cycles. The increase in emittance due to scattering in the target is partially countered by the re-acceleration, and accommodated by the large acceptance of the nsFFAG. The ring is essentially isochronous, the fields provide strong focussing so that losses are small, the components are simple, and it could be built at low cost with existing technology.
