In this paper we present the progress of the Higher-Order-Mode (HOM) coupler design for the high beta CERN SPL (Superconducting Proton Linac) cavities. This includes the RF transmission behavior as well as mechanical and thermal requirements and their optimizations. Warm RF measurements are presented for the first four high beta SPL Cavities made of bulk niobium. Moreover the first prototype of a HOMcoupler will be introduced and we discuss its characteristics and its tuning possibilities.

  Superconducting technology is playing more and more important roles in high-power proton linacs. Periodic phase advance less than 90 degrees and equipartitioning design are considered very important principles in linac design. Due to the very high construction and operation costs, it is very important in optimizing the design to lower the costs. In usual, the longitudinal emittance is larger from the front-end, thus the transverse phase advance is designed to have a larger value. However, with the technical advancement, higher accelerating field can be obtained. In order to take this advantage, it is of much interest in increasing the longitudinal phase advance to shorten the linac or reduce the cost. In this paper, we present the design method that keeping the longitudinal phase advance as large as possible but smaller than 90 degree to maximize the use of the available accelerating gradient. Even though this method does not observe the equipartitioning condition, we can also obtain very good beam dynamics results by placing the tunes in resonant-free regions. In this paper, the design and simulation results by applying this method to the SPL and China-ADS linac will be present.

  Linac4 is a normal conducting 160 MeV H linear accelerator presently being installed and progressively commissioned at CERN. It will replace the ageing 50 MeV Linac2 as injector of the PS Booster (PSB), increasing at the same time its brightness by a factor of two thanks to the higher injection energy. This will be the first step of a program to increase the beam intensity in the LHC injectors for the needs of the High-Luminosity LHC project. After a series of beam measurements on a dedicated test stand the 3 MeV Linac4 front-end, including ion source, RFQ and a beam chopping line, has been recommissioned at its final position in the Linac4 tunnel. Commissioning of the following section, the Drift Tube Linac, is starting. Beam commissioning will take place in steps of increasing energy, to reach the final 160 MeV in 2015. An extended beam measurement phase including testing of stripping equipment for the PSB and a year-long test run to assess and improve Linac4 reliability will take place in 2016, prior to the connection of Linac4 to the PSB that will take place during the next long LHC shut-down.
