XARA (X-band Accelerator for Research and Applications) is a proposal for a compact ~1 GeV/c accelerator to produce attosecond light pulses in the EUV to soft X-ray region. It is under consideration as a potential future upgrade to the CLARA facility at Daresbury Laboratory, utilising high-performance X-band RF technology to increase the electron beam momentum from 250 MeV/c. Emerging techniques for generating single-cycle undulator light [1] would give access to attosecond timescales, enabling studies of ultra-fast dynamics, while also being very compact. XARA would also enhance the existing capabilities for accelerator science R&D by incorporating X-band development and increasing the electron beam momentum for novel acceleration studies.
