AbstractThe Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications (CLARA) is an electron test facility capable of delivering tunable 250 MeV electron beams with up to 250 pC charge to the Full Energy Beam Exploitation (FEBE) experimental area . In this study, we investigate the feasibility of conducting beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) experiments using the CLARA beam and experimental area. We present simulations of various potential experiments, considering the baseline and R&D beam parameters expected to be delivered to the FEBE experimental chambers*. Our findings highlight the potential for CLARA to support advanced PWFA research, with detailed analysis of beam dynamics and experimental configurations.
