An overview is presented of developments on VELA (Versatile Electron Linear Accelerator), an RF photo-injector with two user stations at Daresbury Laboratory. Numerous commissioning, machine development, beam characterisation and user experiments have been completed in the past year. A new beamline and a dedicated multiuser station have been commissioned and the first experiments performed. A number of measures have been taken to improve the stability of machine by mitigating a phase drift, laser beam transport drift and a coherent ~1 Hz beam oscillation. The 6D phase space of the electron beam has been characterised through quad scans, transverse tomography and with a transverse deflecting cavity.

We present recent developments in the accelerator design of CLARA (Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications), the proposed UK FEL test facility at Daresbury Laboratory. In order to prioritise FEL schemes requiring the shortest electron bunches, the layout has changed significantly to enable compression at higher energy. Four proposed modes of operation are defined and tracked from cathode to FEL using ASTRA. Supplementing these baseline mode definitions with CSR-enabled codes (such as CSRTRACK) where appropriate is in progress. The FEL layout is re-optimised to include shorter undulators with delay chicanes between each radiator.

The Versatile Electron Linear Accelerator (VELA) is a facility designed to provide high quality electron beams for accelerator systems development, as well as industrial and scientific applications. A key performance indicator for many applications is the inherent beam jitter on the machine (temporal, momentum and positional). Analysis of this beam jitter indicates that there are several independent mechanisms driving the beam motion. We use model independent analysis to correlate various dominant modes of beam jitter and compare them to simulations. We also compare the dominant modes before and after intervention work on the DLLRF timing system, and determine the relevant changes in beam motion.
