This report describes the conceptual design of a proposed free electron laser test facility called CLARA that will be major upgrade to existing VELA accelerator at Daresbury Laboratory in UK. able number new schemes have been but require proof principle experiment confirm they perform as predicted. The primary focus on ultra short photon pulse generation which take lasers into whole regime, enabling area science emerge.
The compact linear accelerator for research and applications (CLARA) is an ultrabright electron beam test facility being developed at STFC Daresbury Laboratory. ultimate aim of CLARA to advanced free laser (FEL) schemes that can later be implemented on existing future short-wavelength FELs. In addition, a unique provide high-quality novel concepts ideas in wide range disciplines function as technology demonstrator United Kingdom x-ray FEL facility. built three phases; the first phase, or...
The Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) is a new facility for advanced accelerator research. A major component of the AWA its drive linac, consisting unique high current short pulse L-band photocathode based gun and special standing wave preaccelerator designed to produce 100 nC, 30 ps electron bunches at 20 MeV. Commissioning on linac now underway. We report our initial operating experience with this novel machine, including bunch length emittance measurements.
Initial results from nonlinear plasma wake-field experiments at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) test facility are reported. This "blow-out" regime is characterized by complete ejection of electrons beam channel. The wake-fields in this case notably high quality for acceleration electrons, as independent transverse position, and focusing linear longitudinal position within electron depleted region, allowing self-consistent guiding majority driving beam. measurements energy gain a...
The pulse-compression system of the Argonne National Laboratory chemistry Division L-band linac has been completed. A 5-ps-wide electron pulse containing a 6*10/sup -9/ C charge achieved. Acceleration parameters and pulse-width measurement technique are discussed, future plans for utilization this in radiation studies presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
The Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility has begun its experimental program. This unique is designed to address advanced acceleration research which requires very short, intense electron bunches. incorporates two photo-cathode based sources. One produces up 100 nC, multi-kiloamp 'drive' bunches are used excite wakefields in dielectric loaded structures and plasma. second source much lower intensity 'witness' pulses probe the fields produced by drive. drive witness can be precisely...
