The FFAG (Fixed Field Alternating Gradient) model at Daresbury Laboratory presents revolutionary advancements for the UK's next generation of light sources. This facility will serve as a testbed for 4GLS technology, facilitating research in beam dynamics, energy recovery, and compression mechanisms. With state-of-the-art alignment and shielding systems, Daresbury offers low differential movement and robust metrology for precise measurements. The collaboration seeks to enhance particle accelerator technology and contribute significantly to innovation in the field.

Compression Summary • Compression to less than 4ps may be possible at FFAG • Perhaps as low as 300fs • Needs designing!
Site Stability • Concrete cast in 1973 • Well settled! • Very low differential movement • Very large mass of concrete on a stable foundation • As good as anywhere • 4GLS location ERLP Foundation Level Basement Level
