  PARS is a proposed Plasma Accelerator Research Station using the planned CLARA (Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications) electron linear accelerator at Daresbury Laboratory in the UK. In this paper, two- dimensional particle-in-cell simulations based on realistic CLARA beam parameters are presented. The results show that an accelerating gradient of 2.0 GV/m can be achieved over an accelerating length of at least 13 cm. Preliminary simulation results for a two bunch scheme show an energy gain of 70% over a length of 13 cm, giving an average accelerating gradient of 1.2 GeV/m.

  Within last decade a linear accelerating structure with an average loaded gradient of 100 MV/m at 12 GHz has been demonstrated in the CLIC study. Recently, it has been proposed to use the CLIC structure to drive an FEL linac. In contrast to CLIC the linac would be powered by klystrons not by a drive beam. The main advantage of this proposal is achieving the required energies in a very short distance, thus the facility would be rather compact. In this study, we present the conceptual design parameters of a facility which could generate laser photon pulses covering the range of 1-75 Angstrom. Shorter wavelengths could also be reached with slightly increasing the energy.

  The 42 km long CLIC Drive Beam Decelerator (DBD) will decelerate beams of electrons from 2.4 GeV to 240 MeV. ASTeC in collaboration with CERN has developed a novel type of tunable permanent magnet quadrupole for the DBD. Two versions of the design were produced, for the high-energy and low-energy ends of the DBD respectively. This paper outlines the design of the low-energy version, which has a tuning range of 3.5-43 T/m. A prototype was built at Daresbury Laboratory (DL) in 2013, and extensive magnetic measurements were carried out at DL.

  Six UK institutes are engaged in a collaborative R&D programme with CERN aimed at demonstrating key aspects of technology feasibility for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). We give an overview and status of the R&D being done on: 1) Drive-beam components: quadrupole magnets and the beam phase feed-forward prototype. 2) Beam instrumentation: stripline and cavity beam position monitors, an electro-optical longitudinal bunch profile monitor, and laserwire and diffraction and transition radiation monitors for transverse beam-size determination. 3) Beam delivery system and machine-detector interface design, including beam feedback/control systems and crab cavity design and control. 4) RF structure design. In each case, where applicable, we report on the status of prototype systems and performance tests with beam at the CTF3, ATF2 and CesrTA test facilities, including plans for future experiments.

  Accelerator based Ultrafast Electron Diffraction (UED) is a technique for static and dynamic structural studies in material and biological sciences. The recently commissioned VELA accelerator at the Daresbury Laboratory provides multi-MeV beams for science and industry and will provide a test bed for the UK electron diffraction community. We present the design of the diffractometer currently being installed on VELA which will allow capture of a single shot diffraction pattern with a 1 pC electron bunch and outline future options.

  The Versatile Electron Linear Accelerator (VELA) facility will provide enabling infrastructures targeted at the development and testing of novel and compact accelerator technologies, specifically through partnership with industry and aimed at addressing applications in medicine, health, security, energy and industrial processing. The facility has now been commissioned at Daresbury Laboratory and the facility is now being actively utilised by industrial groups who are able to take advantage of the variable electron beam parameters available on VELA to either demonstrate new techniques and/or processes or otherwise develop new technologies for future commercial realisation. Examples of which to be presented include; demonstration of a new cargo scanning process, characterisation of novel, high performance beam position monitors, as well as other technology development applications.

  STFC, in collaboration with Diamond Light Source, are designing and building a 15.5 mm period, 1.26 T superconducting undulator. This paper describes the modelling of the undulator, using Radia and Opera. Extensive numerical modelling has been carried out to simulate the effect of manufacturing tolerances on the quality of the magnetic field, in order to meet the demanding 3° rms phase error specification.

THPRO029 A Front End for the CLARA FEL Test Facility at Daresbury Laboratory 2927

  The next step towards the full CLARA facility is installation of the CLARA front end to comprise a 2m S-band linac section after the photoinjector gun. This will be suitable for both the velocity bunching and standard booster modes of CLARA. An S-bend will also be installed to deflect the beam into the current VELA line, enabling delivery of higher energy beams to two existing user areas. The current photoinjector beam diagnostics section can then be used to test a High Repetition Rate electron gun currently under development. We describe the proposed CLARA front end design. We define two beam dynamics working points for CLARA, one working point for sending beam from the CLARA Front End to VELA, and one working point to feed an interim user station prior to CLARA full construction in the straight-on position.
