ALICE (Accelerators and Lasers in Combined Experiments) is a 35 MeV energy recovery linac based light source. ALICE is being developed as an experimental test-bed for a broad suite of science and technology activities that make use of electron acceleration and ultra-short pulse laser techniques. This paper reports the progress made in accelerator commissioning and includes the results of measurement made on the commissioning beam. The steps taken to prepare the beam for short pulse operation as a driver for a Compton Back Scattered source and in preparation for the commissioning of the free electron laser are reported.

The ILC crab cavities require very tight phase control in order to operate within the ILC parameters. In order to verify that the phase control system met the design tolerances, two single-cell niobium 3.9GHz superconducting dipole-mode cavities were tested in a liquid helium cryostat. The preparation of the cavities, design of the testing apparatus and performance of the phase control system are described in this paper.

The collaborative development of an optimised cavity/cryomodule solution for application on ERL facilities, has now progressed to final assembly and testing of the cavity string components and their subsequent cryomodule integration. This paper outlines the verification of the various cryomodule sub-components and details the processes utilised for final cavity string integration. The paper also describes the modifications needed to facilitate this new cryomodule installation and ultimate operation on the ALICE facility at Daresbury Laboratory.
