Poster Presentation MC09: Overview and Commissioning MOPCO

Speaker

Thomas Pacey (Science and Technology Facilities Council)

Description

The Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications (CLARA) is STFC Daresbury Laboratory’s flagship accelerator facility. We present the latest data from the commissioning of the CLARA facility at Daresbury Laboratory. This will include initial beam measurements and diagnostic performance for the 250 MeV high brightness, highly compressed electron bunches. An overview of the diagnostic requirements and anticipated challenges for these high impact user experiments will be provided. The future direction of diagnostics at CLARA, including potential system upgrades and plans for virtual diagnostics, is also discussed.
