Description

The generation and acceleration of ultra-short, high quality electron beams has attracted more and more interest in accelerator science. Electron bunches with these properties are necessary to operate and test novel diagnostics and advanced high gradient accelerating schemes.

The dedicated R&D linac ARES at DESY (Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron) is able to produce these
high-brightness electron beams with highest stability and deliver them to users.

This paper gives an overview of the ARES linac and summarizes the available beam parameters. It outlines the experimental program from accelerator R&D, laser and tools developments, tests of advanced dielectric laser acceleration and medical applications in the regime of FLASH and VHEE radiotherapy.
The possibilities for user operation will be described in detail.
