Compact Linear Accelerator for Research Applications (CLARA) is a scientific user facility at Daresbury Laboratory. It is an electron linear accelerator (linac) currently under construction.
CLARA is made up of three phases; Phase 1 is operational and has achieved energies of 50 MeV with bunch charges >250 pC. Phase 2 is being constructed off-line and consists of three linacs delivering a total energy of up to 250 MeV, 250 pC beam charge at 100 Hz repetition rate. Phase 2 also consists of the FEBE (Full Energy Beam Exploitation) arc, a beamline which looks at plasma-wakefield acceleration, boosting the beam to energies of around 2 GeV for high energy experimentation. Phase 3 is future expansion for X-FEL construction. This 100 nm X-FEL is linked to the UK XFEL project.
