| THPOJO09 | Status of CLARA at Daresbury Laboratory | 711 |
|
||
| 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. | ||

| MOPOPA11 | Laser-to-RF Synchronisation Drift Compensation for the CLARA test facility | 87 |
|
||
| 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. | ||

| MOPOGE25 | Rf Measurement and Characterisation of European Spallation Source Cavities at UKRI-STFC Daresbury Laboratory and DESY | 212 |
|
||
| The Accelerator Science and Technology Centre (ASTeC) is responsible for delivering 88 High Beta (HB) cavities as part of the European Spallation Source (ESS) facility in Sweden. The bulk Niobium Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavities operate at 704 MHz. They have been fabricated in industry and are currently being tested at Daresbury Laboratory and Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY). They will then be delivered to Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives (CEA) Saclay, France for integration into cryomodules. To date 50 cavities have been conditioned and evaluated and 36 cavities have been delivered to CEA. This paper discusses the experiences and testing of the cavities performed to date at both sites | ||

| TUPOJO15 | Commissioning of UKRI-STFC SRF Vertical Test and HPR Reprocessing Facility | 380 |
|
||
| Mark Pendleton, et al. The UK’s first and only vertical test facility and associated cleanroom reprocessing suite has been developed, commissioned, and entered steady-state operations at the UKRI-STFC Daresbury Laboratory. The facility is capable of 2 K testing of 3 jacketed SRF cavities in a horizontal configuration per 2-week test cycle. We report on the associated cryogenic, RF, UHV, mechanical, cleanroom, and HPR infrastructure. SRF cavity workflows have been developed to meet the requirements of the ESS high beta cavity project within a newly developed quality management system, SuraBee, in accordance with ISO9001. To support standardisation of measurements across the collaboration, reference cavities have been measured for cross-reference between CEA, DESY, and UKRI-STFC. We further report on commissioning objectives, observations, and continuous improvement activities. | ||

| THPOJO11 | Wakefield Monitor System for X-Band Lineariser Linac on CLARA | 718 |
|
||
|
Funding: STFC-UKRI CLARA linear accelerator in phase-2 will utilise an X-band fourth harmonic linac to linearise bunch phase space. Beam induced transverse higher order modes (HOMs) between 15.3 to 16.2GHz will be coupled out through HOM ports, which can be used to correct both position offset and angle misalignment to minimise beam degradation due to HOMs. In this paper we present design of a wakefield monitor system under development, with capability to use either baseband broadband signal for basic alignment, and also carry a detailed narrow-band spectrum analysis on all four (X and Y transverse modes from two couplers) signals. Initial laboratory testing of its subsystem is also presented. |

| THPOGE05 | Some Interesting Observations During Vertical Test on ESS-HB-704 SRF Cavities | 812 |
|
||
| The vertical test stand in use at Daresbury has three cavities loaded horizontally at different heights. The jacketed cavities are supplied with liquid helium from a header tank at the top of the configuration. A few cavities have been tested in different positions and the results have been analysed. The pressure of the helium inside the jacketed cavities is affected by the height of the liquid helium column above the jacket and using results from earlier analysis during cool-down enables the pressure of the cavity to be determined from the frequency of operation. Analysis of the effects may allow for corrections to the frequency to be made. In addition to the above observations there have also been some challenges in the operation at higher power as the phase of the self-excited loop driving the system, has been seen to change. This paper discusses some of the observation, analysis of those observations and challenges that are being addressed in the continuing use of this facility. | ||
