This review article covers close to 45 years of free-electron laser (FEL) activity in the UK from the mid 1970s until 2022. Technical details of the projects are given together with personal insights provided by those who worked on specific projects. Both funded and unfunded projects are included to highlight the breadth of ideas generated over the years; this approach also clearly reveals the evolution in FEL activities from the early imperative to reproduce and understand first results at long wavelength towards the development of ever-higher-quality FEL output at very short wavelengths. Also included are the longer-term and broader benefits of the early projects. One aspect of this is the many years of UK experience in the design, operation and use of FEL facilities (in the UK and abroad) which reveal the wider value, financial and intellectual, of much of the work that has been undertaken and that is often not apparent. Continuous development of the UK technological base in this area has led to innovative contributions on a global scale and considerable financial return.

Progress in Hybrid Plasma Wakefield Acceleration

Plasma wakefield accelerators can be driven either by intense laser pulses (LWFA) or by intense particle beams (PWFA). A third approach that combines the complementary advantages of both types of plasma wakefield accelerator has been established with increasing success over the last decade and is called hybrid LWFA→PWFA. Essentially, a compact LWFA is exploited to produce an energetic, high-current electron beam as a driver for a subsequent PWFA stage, which, in turn, is exploited for phase-constant, inherently laser-synchronized, quasi-static acceleration over extended acceleration lengths. The sum is greater than its parts: the approach not only provides a compact, cost-effective alternative to linac-driven PWFA for exploitation of PWFA and its advantages for acceleration and high-brightness beam generation, but extends the parameter range accessible for PWFA and, through the added benefit of co-location of inherently synchronized laser pulses, enables high-precision pump/probing, injection, seeding and unique experimental constellations, e.g., for beam coordination and collision experiments. We report on the accelerating progress of the approach achieved in a series of collaborative experiments and discuss future prospects and potential impact.
