Description
The CERN Linear Electron Accelerator for Research (CLEAR), operating since 2017, is a user facility providing electron beams for a large and varied range of experiments. The electron beam is produced from a Cs2Te photocathode and is accelerated between 30 MeV and 220 MeV in a 20 m long linear accelerator. In 2022, several hardware and software tools were upgraded and novel procedures and methods were developed to address specific user requirements, including a further extension of the beam parameter ranges. In the paper, these improvements are described and the experimental activities during 2022/2023 are outlined. An outlook on future potential upgrades and on the planned experimental activities in the next years is also given.
