 |
The UK Plasma Wakefield Accelerator Steering Committee (PWASC) was established to represent UK groups working on plasma accelerators, to help coordinate their activities, and to develop a coherent strategy and roadmap for the development and application of plasma acceleration in the UK. Members of PWASC are drawn from UK research groups, the Central Laser Facility, and the two Accelerator Science Institutes. |

CLARA (Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications)
jim.clarke @ stfc.ac.uk
 |
CLARA (Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications) will be a 250MeV Free Electron Laser Test Facility at STFC Daresbury Laboratory, a major upgrade to the existing VELA photoinjector test facility. In addition to being able to test novel FEL concepts for generating ultrashort photon pulses or enhanced longitudinal coherence, CLARA will also have a dedicated plasma accelerator test line which will enable electron and laser driven plasma acceleration experiments. A 20TW laser is already installed and available for laser driven experiments. |
Cockcroft Institute
