  The SINBAD facility (Short and INnovative Bunches and Accelerators at DESY) is foreseen to host multiple experiments relating to the production of ultra-short electron bunches and novel high gradient acceleration techniques. The SINBAD-ARES linac will be a conventional S-band linear RF accelerator allowing the production of low charge (0.5 pC - tens pC) ultra-short electron bunches (FWHM length =< 1 fs - few fs) with 100 MeV energy. The installation of the linac will proceed in stages. In this paper we report on the status of the characterization of the ARES RF gun and the installations of the related infrastructure.

  Higher order modes (HOM) excited in RF accelerating cavities by a particle beam can be used for electron beam diagnostics. Phase of a monopole HOM provides information about the beam phase relative to the externally induced RF field in a cavity (BPhM) [1]. Furthermore, the amplitude of a dipole mode is proportional to the beam position in the cavity, hence it can be used for beam position monitoring (BPM). In this paper we present a prototype of an instrument implemented in the MicoTCA.4 form factor for the measurement of the HOMs at FLASH and Eu-XFEL. The prototype consists of an analog module, which is used for filtering and conditioning of the selected modes, and a digital module responsible for digitization and signal processing. We present the instruments performance and discuss its influence on the precision of the HOM-based diagnostics.

  The European X-ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL) at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), Hamburg, Germany is a user facility providing ultrashort hard and soft X-ray flashes with a high brilliance. All LLRF stations of the injector, covering the normal conducting RF gun, A1 (8 1.3 GHz superconducting cavities (SCs)) and AH1 (8 3.9 GHz SCs), were successfully commissioned by the end of 2015. The commissioning of LLRF stations A2 to A23 (32 1.3 GHz SCs each) in the XFEL accelerator tunnel (XTL) was concluded in June 2017. SASE light was produced in SASE undulator section SA1 and delivered to the first users in September 2017, marking the beginning of regular user operation. The current state of the LLRF systems, the experience gained during operation and the performance achieved in terms of stability and energy reach are presented.

  In the paper we would like to present Tesla SCRF 9-Cell cavity operated at CW regime with extremely high QL at gradients above 23 MV/m. The design hardware and firmware components as well as developed high level software procedures allows automatic procedure of cavity trip from low to high gradient operation. The microphonics as well as a pendoromotive effects are sensed, identify and applied for cavity detuning correction. The RF and piezo feedbacks performance are demonstrated and preliminary results are briefly discussed.

  The Turkish Accelerator and Radiation Laboratory in Ankara (TARLA) is constructing a 40 MeV Free Electron Laser with continuous wave (CW) RF operation. In order to control and monitor the four superconducting (SC) TESLA type cavities as well as the two normal conducting (NC) buncher cavities, a MicroTCA.4 based LLRF system is foreseen. This highly modular system is further used to control the mechanical tuning of the SC cavities by control of piezo actuators and mechanical motor tuners. This paper focuses on giving brief overview on hardware and software components of LLRF control of TARLA, as well as updates on the ongoing integration tests at DESY.

  A collaboration between DESY, PSI and CERN has been established to develop and build an advanced modular X-band transverse deflection structure (TDS) system with the new feature of providing variable polarization of the deflecting force. This innovative CERN design requires very high manufacturing precision to guarantee highest azimuthal symmetry of the structure to avoid the deterioration of the polarization of the streaking field. Therefore, the high-precision tuning-free production process developed at PSI for the C-band and X-band accelerating structures will be used for the manufacturing. We summarize in this paper the status of the production of the prototype and the waveguide networks foreseen in the different facilities.
