The 352 MHz CCDTL will accelerate the Linac4 beam from 50 to 102 MeV. It will be the first CCDTL used in a proton linac. Three short DTL tanks, each having two drift tubes, are connected by coupling cavities and form a chain of 5 resonators operating in the stable π/2 mode. The CCDTL section is made of 7 such chains, each fed by a 1.3 MW klystron. Focusing quadrupoles are placed between tanks, easing their alignment with respect to a conventional DTL thus making the structure less sensitive to manufacturing errors. In order to validate the design and to develop the production technology, two prototypes have been constructed and successfully tested. The first prototype, built at CERN, consists of two half-cavities and one coupling cell, whereas the second, with two full cavities and one coupling cell, was built at VNIITF and BINP in Russia in the frame of an R&D contract funded by the ISTC Organisation. Both prototypes have been tested at CERN slightly beyond their nominal power level, at the design duty cycle of 10%. In this paper we present the results of high-power tests, the results of the technological developments prior to production, and the final design of the CCDTL.
