  CLARA is a FEL test facility at Daresbury Laboratory (DL), UK. The undulator vacuum chamber is 20 m long with inner diameter 6 mm and its vacuum performance can benefit from a NEG coating. The thickness of the coating layer must be carefully optimised. A layer ~ 1 um would help the vacuum but a thinner layer would be partially transparent for the EM field reducing the resistive wall wakefields due to the NEG. A very thin layer, however, may not yield the necessary vacuum performance. Two types of NEG coatings produced at DL - dense and columnar - were considered. Their bulk conductivities were measured in a separate study. The resistive wall wakefield impedance was calculated following the standard approach for multilayer vessels. A 250 fs rms electron bunch was generated in ASTRA and its wakefield was obtained from the vessel impedance. The FEL performance was then studied through GENESIS simulations and the result compared to the case with no wakefields. It was found that NEG layers thicker than 100 nm give an unacceptable reduction of the FEL power and the vacuum performance of such thin coatings is unknown. Possible solutions to this problem are discussed.

  One of the critical components of electron injectors based on RF photoelectron sources is the focusing system. The system typically consists of a Main Focusing Solenoid and a Bucking Coil. Combination of these two solenoids should provide proper focusing of the beam at the exit of the RF cavity and zero longitudinal magnetic field in the photocathode plane to minimise the beam emittance. Imperfection of the solenoid design, manufacturing and alignment frequently leads to asymmetry of the focusing field which has to be compensated with additional coils. In order to eliminate mechanical and magnetic misalignment the CLARA photoinjector solenoids are mounted on one integrated bench and before installation into the beamline have been aligned in the magnet laboratory with simultaneous measurement of the magnetic field. In order to define multipole field components, dedicated measurements of the transverse magnetic field have been done. The amplitudes of the multipoles have been obtained from analysis of the transverse field map. We present here the results of field characterisation.
