One of two ALPHA-X photocathode gun cavities, designed and fabricated at the Laboratoire de l'Accélérateur Linéaire, has been in operation on the VELA electron accelerator at Daresbury Laboratory since first beam in April 2013. In this time the maximum beam momentum recorded is 5.06 MeV/c. An investigation of the cavity has been performed with the aim of reconciling the expected momentum of over 6 MeV/c with the measured momentum. RF and beam simulation results are presented along with low power RF measurements of the cavity. One source of momentum loss, the flatness of the cathode face, is identified and rectified.

Electron diffraction on VELA at Daresbury Laboratory was first demonstrated in 2014. Since then, we have studied the machine parameter optimisation for single-shot diffraction patterns from single-crystal gold and silicon samples at bunch charges down to 60 fC. We present bunch length measurements for electron diffraction setups determined with a transverse deflecting cavity. We also discuss the current limitations of VELA for electron diffraction and the improvements to be made.

An overview is presented of developments on VELA (Versatile Electron Linear Accelerator), an RF photo-injector with two user stations at Daresbury Laboratory. Numerous commissioning, machine development, beam characterisation and user experiments have been completed in the past year. A new beamline and a dedicated multiuser station have been commissioned and the first experiments performed. A number of measures have been taken to improve the stability of machine by mitigating a phase drift, laser beam transport drift and a coherent ~1 Hz beam oscillation. The 6D phase space of the electron beam has been characterised through quad scans, transverse tomography and with a transverse deflecting cavity.
