Progress on the commissioning of ALICE, the energy recovery linac-based light source at Daresbury Laboratory

ALICE (Accelerators and Lasers In Combined Experiments) is a 35 MeV energy recovery linac based light source. ALICE is being developed as an experimental test-bed for a broad suite of science and technology activities using electron acceleration and ultra-short pulse laser techniques. This paper reports the progress made in accelerator commissioning, describes the present status of the ALICE experimental facility, and includes the latest results on beam and terahertz (THz) radiation measurements. Near-future developments including the demonstration of the Compton Backscattering x-ray source and IR FEL commissioning are also presented.
