The FACET accelerator test facility at SLAC hosts a new generation of Plasma Wakefield Acceleration (PWFA) experiments. "Two-bunch" experiments have demonstrated high-gradient, highly efficient energy transfer in a plasma wakefield. I will discuss results of follow-up experiments that use a 1.3 meter long plasma to accelerate witness bunch electrons to even higher energies. In a first, we observed multi-GeV acceleration of positrons in a plasma. This is a critical step in demonstrating the applicability of PWFA for High-Energy Physics applications.

  The baseline design of CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) uses X-band accelerating structures in the main linac. Every accelerating structure cell has four waveguides, terminated with individual RF loads, to damp the unwanted long-range transverse wakefields, in order to maintain beam stability in multi-bunch operation. In order to experimentally verify the calculated suppression of the wakefields, a prototype structure has been built and installed in FACET test facility at SLAC. The results of the measurements of the wakefields in the prototype structure by means of positron and electron bunches are presented.
