Speaker
Description
The Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications (CLARA) is STFC Daresbury Laboratory’s flagship accelerator facility. In this talk 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. Once commissioned, CLARA will transition to provide beam for user led experiments; covering areas such as R&D into electron radiotherapy and laser-plasma accelerators. An overview of the diagnostic requirements and anticipated challenges for these high impact user experiments will be provided. Finally, the future direction of diagnostics at CLARA will be discussed, including: potential system upgrades, plans for virtual diagnostics, and opportunities for collaboration.
