TUODA03 | The Status of the ALICE Accelerator R&D Facility at STFC Daresbury Laboratory | 934 |
|
||
Funding: Science and Technology Facilities Council 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. | ||
