The CLIC two beam acceleration technology requires a drive beam phase stability of better than 0.3 deg rms at 12 GHz, corresponding to a timing stability below 50 fs rms. For this reason the CLIC design includes a phase stabilization feed-forward system. It relies on precise beam phase measurement and its subsequent correction in a chicane with help of fast kickers. A prototype of such a system is being installed in CLIC Test Facility CTF3. In this paper we describe in detail its design and implementation. Additionally, we present and discuss the performance of the precision phase monitor prototypes installed at the end of the CTF3 linac, measured with the drive beam.

Control and mitigation of transverse beam instabilities caused by electron cloud and TMCI will be essential for the SPS to meet the beam intensity demands for the HL-LHC upgrade. A wideband intra-bunch feedback method is in development, based on a 4 GS/s data acquisition and processing, and with a back end frequency structure extending to 1 GHz. A slotted type kicker, similar to those used for stochastic cooling, has been considered as the terminal element of the feedback chain. It offers the most promising deflecting structure characteristics to meet the system requirements in terms of bandwidth, shunt impedance, and beam coupling impedance. Different types of slotted structures have been explored and simulated, including a ridged waveguide and coaxial type waveguide. In this paper we present our findings and the conceptual design of a vertical SPS wideband kicker consistent with the stay clear, vacuum, frequency band coverage, and peak shunt impedance requirements.
