  The CLIC study has progressively tested prototype accelerating structures which incorporate an ever increasing number of features which are needed for a final version installed in a linear collider. The most recent high power test made in the CERN X-band test stand, Xbox-1, is a of a CERN-built prototype which includes damping features but also compact input and output power couplers, which maximize the overall length to active gradient ratio of the structure. The structure’s high-gradient performance, 100 MV/m and low breakdown rate, matches previously tested structures validating both CERN fabrication and the compact coupler design.

  CERN has constructed and is operating a klystron-based X-band test stand, called Xbox-1, dedicated to the high-gradient testing of prototype accelerating structures for CLIC and other applications such as FELs. The test stand has now been in operation for a year and significant progress has been made in understanding the system, improving its reliability, upgrading hardware and implementing automatic algorithms for conditioning the accelerating structures. This experience is reviewed.

  Within last decade a linear accelerating structure with an average loaded gradient of 100 MV/m at 12 GHz has been demonstrated in the CLIC study. Recently, it has been proposed to use the CLIC structure to drive an FEL linac. In contrast to CLIC the linac would be powered by klystrons not by a drive beam. The main advantage of this proposal is achieving the required energies in a very short distance, thus the facility would be rather compact. In this study, we present the conceptual design parameters of a facility which could generate laser photon pulses covering the range of 1-75 Angstrom. Shorter wavelengths could also be reached with slightly increasing the energy.

  Preliminary plans are presented for a sub-Angstrom wavelength XFEL at the Australian Synchrotron light source site. The design is based around a 6 GeV x-band linac from the CLIC Project. One of the motivations for the design is to have an XFEL co-located on the site with existing storage ring based synchrotron light source. The desire and ability of the Australian photon science community to win beamtime on existing XFELs has lead to this design study to plan for a future machine in Australia. The technology choice is also driven by the Australian participation in the CLIC Collaboration and the local HEP community.
