II.2.4) Description of the procurement
A next-generation light source test facility is to be constructed at the DL which will be known as CLARA. The aim of the CLARA project is to develop a normal conducting test accelerator capable of generating longitudinally and transversely bright electron bunches and to use these bunches in the experimental production of stable, synchronised, ultra-short photon pulses of coherent light from a single pass FEL (Free Electron Laser) with techniques directly applicable to the future generation of light source facilities. UKRI STFC requires Waveguide system for the CLARA facility capable of handling RF peak powers of up to 80 MW for the 3 RF 4 m linacs. Detailed Waveguide requirements for the RF systems are defined in UK SBS PR19056 specification document which can be found in https://gpsesourcing.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/emptoris under the reference UK SBS PR19056.
