Abstract

AREAL (Advanced Research Electron Accelerator Laboratory) is an electron linear accelerator with a laser driven RF gun constructed at CANDLE Synchrotron Research Institute. After the successful operation of the gun section at 5 MeV, a program of facility energy growth up to 50 MeV has been launched, which includes the construction of two advanced experimental stations for the generation of middle infrared and THz radiation. This paper presents the design of these stations and gives the characteristics of expected radiation based on numerical and theoretical studies.
