  The CLEX building in the CTF3 facility is the place where essential experiments are performed to validate the Two-Beam Acceleration scheme upon which the CLIC project relies. The Drive Beam enters the CLEX after being recombined in the Delay loop and the Combiner Ring in intense beam trains of 24 A – 150 MeV lasting 140 ns and bunched at 12 GHz, although other beam parameters are also accessible. This beam is then decelerated in dedicated structures installed in the Test Beam Line (TBL) and in the Two-Beam Test Stand (TBTS) aimed at delivering bursts of 12 GHz RF power. In the TBTS this power is used to generate a high accelerating gradient of 100 MV/m in specially designed accelerating structures. To assess the performances of these structures a probe beam is used, produced by a small Linac. We reported here the various experiences conducted in the TBTS making use of the versatility the probe beam and of dedicated diagnostics.

  The objective of the CLIC Test Facility CTF3 is to demonstrate the feasibility issues of the CLIC two-beam technology: the efficient generation of a very high current drive beam, used as the power source to accelerate the main beam to multi-TeV energies with gradient over 100MeV/m, stable drive beam deceleration over long distances. Results on successful beam acceleration with over 100 MeV/m energy gain are shown. Measurements of drive beam deceleration over a chain of Power Extraction Structures are presented. The achieved RF power levels, the stability of the power production and of the deceleration are discussed. Finally, we overview the remaining issues to be shown until the end of 2011.

  The CLIC Drive Beam Recombination Complex (DBRC) is designed to compress beam pulses from a current of 4.1 A to 100 A before using them to produce RF power in the deceleration lines. The beam is transported isochronously through a complex system consisting of a delay loop, two combiner rings and final turn around. The system is designed to preserve transverse and longitudinal emittances. During the optics design, chromaticity and non-linear dispersion were identified as the main single particle dynamics causes for transverse emittance increase. Different sextupole families are used to compensate these chromatic effects while keeping isochronicity. The bunch length is also adjusted to minimize coherent synchrotron radiation effects on bunch length, energy spread and transverse emittance. Finally, the injection scheme of the combiner rings was improved making the time variable bump created with help of the RF deflectors truly achromatic.
