  The design requirements for the magnets in the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) Final Focus System (FFS) are very stringent. In this paper the sensitivity for the misalignment and the magnetic imperfections for the different magnets in the FFS and the crab cavity are presented. Possible mitigation methods are discussed.

  Cavity beam position monitors (CBPM) have been used in several accelerator facilities and are planned to be used in future accelerators and light sources. High position resolution up to tens of nanometres has been achieved, but short range wakefields are a concern, especially for small beam emittances. This paper presents the wakefield calculations as well as the first measurements of the CBPM-generated short range wakefields performed at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF2).

  The tracking code PLACET simulates beam transport and orbit corrections in linear accelerators. It incorporates single- and multi-bunch effects, static and dynamic imperfections. A major restructuring of its core has resulted in an improvement in its modularity, with some immediate advantages: its tracking core, which is one of the fastest available for this kind of simulations, is now interfaced toward three different scripting languages to offer great simulation capabilities: Tcl/Tk, Octave and Python. These three languages provide access to a vast library of scientific tools, mechanisms for parallel computing, and access to Java interfaces for control systems (such as that of CTF3). Also, new functionalities have been added: parallel tracking to exploit modern multicore CPUs, the possibility to track through the interaction region in presence of external magnetic fields (detector solenoid) and higher order imperfections in magnets. PLACET is currently used to simulate the CLIC Drive Beam, the CLIC Main Beam, CTF3, FACET at SLAC, and ATF2 at KEK.
