The ALICE ac­cel­er­a­tor, the first en­er­gy re­cov­ery ma­chine in Eu­rope, has re­cent­ly demon­strat­ed las­ing of an in­fra-red free elec­tron laser (IR-FEL). The cur­rent sta­tus of the ma­chine and re­cent de­vel­op­ments are de­scribed. These in­clude: las­ing of the IR-FEL, a pro­gramme of pow­er­ful co­her­ent ter­a­hertz ra­di­a­tion re­search, elec­tro-op­tic di­ag­nos­tic tech­niques, de­vel­op­ment of high pre­ci­sion tim­ing and dis­tri­bu­tion sys­tem, im­ple­men­ta­tion of dig­i­tal low level RF con­trol. ALICE also serves as an in­jec­tor for the EMMA non-scal­ing FFAG ma­chine.

  ALICE is a demon­stra­tor ac­cel­er­a­tor sys­tem which has been de­signed and built at Dares­bury Lab­o­ra­to­ry. The heart of this fa­cil­i­ty is an ERL ac­cel­er­a­tor and a pow­er­ful mul­ti-ter­rawatt laser. It serves as an ad­vanced test fa­cil­i­ty for novel ac­cel­er­a­tor and pho­ton sci­ence ap­pli­ca­tions. Beam loss mon­i­tor­ing and ma­chine pro­tec­tion sys­tems are vital areas for the suc­cess­ful op­er­a­tion of ALICE. These sys­tems are re­quired, both for ef­fi­cient ma­chine set up and for hard­ware pro­tec­tion dur­ing op­er­a­tion. This paper gives an overview of the sys­tem de­sign, com­mis­sion­ing de­tails and a sum­ma­ry of the sys­tems’ ef­fec­tive­ness as a di­ag­nos­tic tool.
