  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.

  Femtosecond synchronisation between charged particle beams and external laser systems is a significant challenge for modern particle accelerators. To achieve femtosecond synchronisation of the CLARA electron beam and end user laser systems will require tight synchronisation of several accelerator subsystems. This paper reports on a method to compensate for environmentally driven long-term drift in Laser-RF phase detection systems.
