Central Laser Facility, part of the Science and Technology Facilites Council (STFC), UK Research and Innovation wishes to establish a Contract for the provision of Spectrometer Dipole Magnets. The Extreme Photonics Applications Centre (EPAC) is a new facility currently under construction at STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK. This facility will be used to conduct research into extreme conditions generated by the interactions of petawatt scale laser pulses with matter. One class of experiments that will be conducted is to generate high energy electron beams from laser induced plasmas. Such beams may have highly variable energy spectra shot to shot and will have a central energy that is a function of the laser pulse power. An electron beamline with wide energy acceptance is being designed by STFC to capture, measure, and utilise these electron bunches. Part of this beamline is a pair of dipole magnets which, combined with a set of quadrupoles not included in this tender, will form an electron energy spectrometer and energy selection device.
