| PI Contribution | Working together on a beam run and future beam runs on the CLARA Test Facility. Our research team has brought knowledge on the THz generation side of experiment. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Working together on a beam run and future beam runs on the CLARA Test Facility. Partner has brought experience working with the electron beam facility. |
| Impact | Worked together on beam run in January 2019. This paper came from this: https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.04055. Currently working together on beam run scheduled for the summer of 2020 to improve the results from the last run. |
