Two re-buncher cavities are necessary for the LIPAc (Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator), presently being built at Rokkasho (Japan). They are placed at the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) line to longitudinally focus a 5 MeV CW deuteron beam. Due to the strong space charge and the compactness of the beamline, the cavity has several space restrictions. In order to minimize the power loss, an IH-type cavity with 5 gaps was selected. It provides an effective voltage of 350 kV at 175 MHz with a power loss of 6.6 kW. First, electromagnetic calculations have been done with HFSS to compute the resonant frequency, the S-parameters, the electric and magnetic field maps, the power losses and the proper geometry for a magnetic input coupler and a pickup probe. Then, a mechanical Ansys model has been used to analyze the stresses and deformations due to vacuum, the cooling circuit and the temperature distribution, taking into account the power losses imported from the electromagnetic model. Finally, the fluid dynamics in the cooling circuits of the stems has been carefully studied.

Two re-buncher cavities will be installed at the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) of the LIPAc accelerator, presently being built at Rokkasho (Japan). They are IH-type cavities with 5 gaps and will provide an effective voltage of 350 kV at 175 MHz. The cavity consists of a cylindrical main body and two endplates in stainless steel with an internal copper coating. The stems and drift tubes are machined from bulk OFE copper. The fabrication techniques for the cooling pipes, the input coupler and the pick-up are presented. Material choices and fabrication process are discussed. The first re-buncher is already fabricated. RF low power tests have been made to measure resonant frequency, S-parameters and Q-factor before and after the copper plating. The electric field map has also been measured with the bead-pull method.

The future collider CLIC is based on a two-beam acceleration scheme, where the drive beam provides to the main beam the RF power through the Power Extraction and Transfer Structures (PETS). The technical feasibility of some components is currently being proved at the CLIC Experimental Area (CLEX). Two double- length CLIC PETS will be installed in CLEX to validate their performance with beam. The first prototype was produced and validated in 2012. This paper is focused on the engineering design, fabrication and validation of the second prototype. Taking into account the results of the first prototype, some modifications have been included in the design to ease fabrication and assembly. The fabrication techniques are very similar to the ones used for the first prototype. Mechanical measurements on single parts and different assembly stages will be reported. The industrialization feasibility will be also analyzed. Finally, several tests such as vacuum tightness and RF measurements with low power have been realized to validate the device. These results are compared with the first prototype ones.
