Invited Talk

CLARA at Daresbury Laboratory is a medium energy (250 MeV) electron beam facility, delivering high-brightness electron bunches to a wide range of user experiments exploring novel acceleration schemes, cancer therapy, and advanced diagnostics. CLARA is currently undergoing final beam commissioning after an extended period of technical systems commissioning in 2025. During this period, CLARA...

108. Machine Intensity Limitations at ISIS and its Recovery Following the Long Shutdown

Mrs Hayley Cavanagh (STFC - RAL - ISIS)

Invited Talk

The ISIS facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory is a pulsed neutron and muon source, for materials and life science research. Up to 3e13 protons per pulse can be accelerated to 800 MeV in the 50 Hz rapid cycling synchrotron which provides beam to two spallation neutron targets.

This talk will discuss the challenges faced in restoring beam performance after the long shutdown in 2021.
