Successful user experiments at particle beam facilities are dependent upon the awareness of beam characteristics at the interaction point. Often, properties are measured beforehand for fixed operation modes; users then rely on the long-term stability of the beam. Otherwise, diagnostics must be integrated into a user experiment, costing resources and limiting space in the user area. This contribution proposes the application of machine learning to develop a suite of virtual diagnostic systems. Virtual diagnostics take data at easy to access locations, and infer beam properties at locations where a measurement has not been taken, and often cannot be taken. Here the focus is the user area at the planned Full Energy Beam Exploitation (FEBE) upgrade to the CLARA facility (UK). Presented is a simulation-based proof-of-concept for a variety of virtual diagnostics. Transverse and longitudinal properties are measured upstream of the user area, coupled with the beam optics parameters leading to the user area, and input into a neural network, to predict the same parameters within the user area. Potential instrumentation for FEBE CLARA virtual diagnostics will also be discussed.

  The CLARA facility at Daresbury Laboratory was orig-inally designed for the study of novel FEL physics utilis-ing high-quality electron bunches at up to 250 MeV/c. To maximise the exploitation of the accelerator complex, a dedicated full energy beam exploitation (FEBE) beam-line has been designed and is currently being installed in a separate vault on the CLARA accelerator. FEBE will allow the use of high charge (up to 250 pC), moderate energy (up to 250 MeV), electron bunches for a wide variety of accelerator applications critical to ongoing accelerator development in the UK and international communities. The facility consists of a shielded enclo-sure, accessible during beam running in CLARA, with two very large experimental chambers compatible with a wide range of experimental proposals. High-power laser beams (up to 100 TW) will be available for electron-beam interactions in the first chamber, and there are concrete plans for a wide variety of advanced diagnostics (includ-ing a high-field permanent magnet spectrometer and dielectric longitudinal streaker), essential for multiple experimental paradigms, in the second chamber. FEBE will be commissioned in 2024.

  CLARA (Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications) is a test facility for Free Electron Laser (FEL) research and other applications at STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory. The Front End of CLARA has been used for user exploitation programme from 2018. The second exploitation period in 2021-22 provided a range of beam parameters to 8 user experiments. We report on the status, further machine development, and future plans for CLARA including Full Energy Beam Exploitation (FEBE) beamline which will provide 250 MeV/c high brightness beam for novel experiments.
