Description

The CERN Linear Electron Accelerator for Research (CLEAR) is a user facility providing a flexible 200 MeV electron beam for accelerator technology development, radiation studies, and interdisciplinary research. Since its commissioning in 2017, CLEAR has supported a wide range of experiments, often requiring rapid reconfiguration of setups and beam parameters. To address the need for faster turnaround and increased experimental throughput, a new beam line branching from the existing experimental area has been designed, constructed, and commissioned. This addition enables simultaneous preparation or operation of multiple experiments, reducing downtime between user programs. The new line also extends the available range of beam parameters, allowing, for instance, operation with tailored transverse beam sizes at the in-air test stand. This paper presents the design and implementation of the new beam line, reports on its hardware installation and beam commissioning results, and outlines the expected improvements in flexibility, beam quality, and operational efficiency for the CLEAR user community.
