  The CLIC Power Extraction and Transfer Structure (PETS) is a passive microwave device in which bunches of the drive beam interact with the impedance of the periodically loaded waveguide and generate RF power for the main linac accelerating structure. The demands on the high power production (~ 150 MW) and the needs to transport the 100 A drive beam for about 1 km without losses make the PETS design rather unique and the operation very challenging. In coming years the intensive PETS testing program will be implemented. The target is to demonstrate full performance of the PETS operation. The testing program overview and test results available to date will be presented.

  We present some preliminary experimental results of a plasma wakefield accelerator technique which utilizes multiple electron bunches in order to drive a plasma wave. The experiments were performed at the Accelerator Test Facility of Brookhaven National Laboratory where 5-8 equidistant bunches with a spacing which was varied between 100-250 m were fed into a 6mm-long capillary discharge plasma. By varying the time delay of the bunches with respect to the discharge different plasma densities could be tuned, and the effects of the plasma on the bunches were recorded. Such multiple bunch schemes are of great interest because they can provide increased efficiencies and high transformer ratios for advanced accelerators.

  The high luminosity requirements and the option of a polarized positron beam present a great challenge for the positron source of a future linear collider. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the latest proposed design for the baseline positron source of the International Linear Collider. We report on recent progress and results concerning the main components of the source: including the undulator, collimators, capture optics, and target.

WEOBG04 First Experimental Results from DEGAS, the Quantum Limited Brightness Electron Source 1918

  The construction of DEGAS (DEGenerate Advanced Source), a proof of principle for a quantum limited brightness electron source, has been completed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The commissioning and the characterization of this source, designed to generate coherent low energy (10-100 eV) single electron "bunches" with brightness approaching the quantum limit at a repetition rate of few MHz, has been started. In this paper the first experimental results are described.
