THXM01 CLIC Accelerating Structure Development 2922
 
  • W. Wuensch
    CERN, Geneva
 
  One of the most important objectives of the CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) study is to demonstrate the design accelerating gradient of 100 MV/m in a fully featured accelerating structure under nominal operating conditions including pulse length and breakdown rate. The development and testing program which has been put into place to achieve this objective is described. Recent advances in understanding and quantifying the effects which limit the accelerating gradient are presented.

THXM03 Status of the European HOM Damped Normal Conducting Cavity 2932
 
  • E. Weihreter
    BESSY GmbH, Berlin
 
  Cavities with damped higher order modes (HOMs) are an essential ingredient for state of the art storage ring based high brilliance synchrotron radiation sources to avoid degradation of the beam quality due to coupled bunch instabilities. Starting with a review of the concepts of existing HOM damped cavities the status of a normal conducting 500 MHz cavity is presented which has been developed for low and medium energy high brilliance synchrotron light sources within the frame of an EC funded collaboration. The results of numerical simulations and of low power impedance measurements are reported together with conceptional improvements, expected performance, and first operational achievements in the Metrology Light Source in Berlin.
