Electron Beam Test Facility EBTF
• Objective: To provide a suite of accelerator testing facilities which can be utilised in partnership with industry, academic and scientific collaborators
• Scope: The provision of a common high performance and flexible injector facility comprising an RF gun, associated RF power systems, beam diagnostics and manipulators, a high power photo-injector driver laser and associated enclosures
• Costs: £2.5M capital from DBIS has been assigned for this facility. This investment will be supplemented by £447k capital allocation from STFC’s baseline capital allocation for the accelerator test facilities
• Timescales: Purchase the majority of the equipment in financial year 2011/12, with build in 2012. It is planned that first electrons from the facility are delivered in September 2012

CLARA
Compact Linear Advanced Research Accelerator
Ultimate Aim• To develop a normal conducting test accelerator able to
generate longitudinally and transversely bright electron bunches
• To use these bunches in the experimental production of stable, synchronised, ultra short photon pulses of coherent light from a single pass FEL with techniques directly applicable to the future generation of light source facilities. – Stable in terms of transverse position, angle, and intensity from shot to shot.– A target synchronisation level for the photon pulse ‘arrival time’ of better than 10
fs rms is proposed.– In this context “ultra short” means less than the FEL cooperation length, which is
typically ~100 wavelengths long (i.e. this equates to a pulse length of 400 as at 1keV, or 40 as at 10 keV). A SASE FEL normally generates pulses that are dictated by the electron bunch length, which can be orders of magnitude larger than the cooperation length.

Conclusion• ASTeC is successfully leading experimental work on the
development of high current, high brightness electron accelerators, with the following particular goals:
• EBTF high brightness electron photoinjector electron is funded and under construction– Operation with ultra short bunches– Front end for ongoing project CLARA– Experiments with electron diffraction
