The new CERN Linear Electron Accelerator for Research (CLEAR) facility at started its operation in fall 2017. CLEAR results from the conversion of CALIFES beam line former CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) into a testbed general accelerator R&D and component studies existing possible future applications. can provide stable reliable electron 60 to 220 MeV single or multi bunch configuration 1.5 GHz. experimental program includes high gradient acceleration methods, e.g. X-band plasma technology, prototyping validation components, HL-LHC upgrade, irradiation test capabilities characterization electronic components medical An overview summary latest will be presented.
