The Versatile Electron Linear Accelerator (VELA) facility will provide enabling infrastructures targeted at the development and testing of novel and compact accelerator technologies, specifically through partnership with industry and aimed at addressing applications in medicine, health, security, energy and industrial processing. The facility has now been commissioned at Daresbury Laboratory and the facility is now being actively utilised by industrial groups who are able to take advantage of the variable electron beam parameters available on VELA to either demonstrate new techniques and/or processes or otherwise develop new technologies for future commercial realisation. Examples of which to be presented include; demonstration of a new cargo scanning process, characterisation of novel, high performance beam position monitors, as well as other technology development applications.

A user facility VELA (Versatile Electron Linear Accelerator) based on an RF photoinjector has been commissioned at Daresbury Laboratory in April 2013, providing beam to first users in September 2013. Machine study runs in 2013-2014 have concentrated on characterisation of main beam parameters like bunch charge, its momentum, beam emittance and dependence of these parameters on the launching RF phase. Major efforts have been also concentrated on investigation of the dark current from the gun and its dependence on the RF amplitude. Significant time has been dedicated to investigation of relative stability of LLRF and drive laser having significant impact on the overall machine stability. We present here the results of these studies.
