Third CLARA User Meeting

Tuesday 5 Jul 2022, 09:00 → 17:00 Europe/London

Daresbury Laboratory

Deepa Angal-Kalinin (UKRI-STFC Daresbury Laboratory/CI)

During October’21 – April’22, high brightness electron beam from the CLARA Front End was delivered to a number of user experiments following a competitive beam application process. These experiments covered a wide range of disciplines and included; novel acceleration, advanced accelerator diagnostics and technologies, and medical applications. Results from these experiments as well as plans and timeline for completion of the future CLARA Full Energy Beam Exploitation (FEBE) beamline will be discussed.
