  The Compact Linear Collider is based on a two-beam scheme to accelerate the main, colliding beams. This scheme allows to reach very high centre-of-mass energies. At low collision energies the main beams could be accelerated by powering the accelerating structures with X-band instead of a second beam. We explore this option and indicate the parameters and conceptual design.

  RF breakdown is a key issue for the multi-TeV high-luminosity e+e Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). Breakdowns in the high-gradient accelerator structures can deflect the beam and decrease the desired luminosity. The limitations of the accelerating structures due to breakdowns have been studied so far without a beam present in the structure. The presence of the beam modifies the distribution of the electrical and magnetic field distributions, which determine the breakdown rate. Therefore an experiment has been designed for high power testing a CLIC prototype accelerating structure with a beam present in the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3). A special beam line allows extracting a beam with nominal CLIC beam current and duration from the CTF3 linac. The paper describes the beam optics design for this experimental beam line and the commissioning of the experiment with beam.

An X-band dielectric-based wakefield power extractor is under development to function as a high power rf source primarily for Two Beam Accelerator applications. A low surface electric field to gradient ratio and low fabrication cost are two main advantages of the dielectric-loaded accelerating/decelerating structure. We have designed a 12 GHz dielectric-based power extractor that has similar performance parameters to the CLIC PETS (23 mm beam channel, 240 ns pulse duration, 135 MW output per structure) using the CLIC drive beam. In order to study potential rf breakdown issues, as a first step we built a 11.424 GHz dielectric-based power extractor scaled from the 12 GHz design. A high power rf test will be conducted using the SLAC 11.424 GHz high power rf source in Dec. 2012. Results of the high power testing will be reported. Meanwhile, the 12 GHz fully featured dielectric power extractor is also under construction; construction progress and bench tests will be discussed.
