  A special feature of the European XFEL X-ray laser is the possibility to distribute the electron bunches of one beam pulse to different free-electron laser (FEL) beam-lines. This is achieved through a combination of kickers and a Lambertson DC septum. The integration of a beam abort dump allows a flexible selection of the bunch pattern at the FEL experiment, while the superconducting linear accelerator operates with constant beam loading. The driver linac of the FEL can deliver up to 600 µs long bunch trains with a repetition rate of 10 Hz and a maximum energy of 17.5 GeV. The FEL process poses very strict requirements on the stability of the beam position and hence on all upstream magnets. It was therefore decided to split the beam distribution system into two kicker systems, long pulse kickers with very stable amplitude (flat-top) and relatively slow pulses and fast stripline kickers with moderate stability but very fast pulses. This contribution gives a brief overview of the fast kicker system.

  A collaboration between DESY, PSI and CERN has been established to develop and build an advanced modular X- band transverse deflection structure (TDS) system with the new feature of providing variable polarization of the deflecting force. The prototype of the novel X-band TDS, the Polarizable X-band (PolariX) TDS, was fabricated at PSI following the high-precision tuning-free production process developed for the C-band Linac of the SwissFEL project. Bead-pull RF measurements were also performed at PSI to verify, in particular, that the polarization of the dipole fields does not have any rotation along the structure. The high-power test was performed at CERN and now the TDS is at DESY and has been installed in FLASHForward, where the first streaking experience with beam will be accomplished. We summarize in this paper the status of the project, the results of the bead-pull measurements and the high power test.
