	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.

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.

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.

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.
