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 high charge PHIN photo-injector was developed within the frame of the European CARE program to provide an alternative to the drive beam thermionic gun in CTF3 (CLIC Test Facility) at CERN. In PHIN 1908 bunches are delivered with bunch spacing of 1.5 GHz and 2.33 nC charge per bunch. Furthermore the drive beam generated by CTF3 requires several fast 180 deg phase-shifts with respect to the 1.5 GHz bunch repetition frequency in order to allow the beam combination scheme developed at CTF3. A total of 8 sub-trains, each 140 ns long and shifted in phase with respect to each other, have to be produced with very high phase and amplitude stability. A novel fiber modulator based phase-switching technique developed on the laser system provides this phase-shift between two consecutive pulses much faster and cleaner than the base line scheme, where a thermionic electron gun and sub-harmonic bunching are used. The paper describes the fiber-based switching system and the measurements verifying the scheme. Stability measurements are presented for the phase-coded system. The paper also discusses the latest 8nC charge production and cathode life-time studies on Cs2Te.

Alignment and Wake Field Issues in the CLIC RTML

1039

At main linac injection the particle beams need to stay within tight tolerances for the transverse emittances and the pointing stability. We study how these tolerances influence alignment requirements for the RTML components and the stability of the beams entering the RTML. An emphasize is put on the booster linac and the RF cavities of the second bunch compression stage since short and long range wake fields might strongly influence beam dynamics in these parts of the RTML.

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.

A series of Inductive Pick-Ups (IPU) for Beam Position Monitoring (BPM) with its associated electronics were designed, constructed and tested at IFIC. A full set of 16 BPMs, so called BPS units, were successfully installed in the Test Beam Line (TBL) of the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) at CERN. In this paper we present the results of the beam test carried out on the BPS units of the TBL in order to determine their beam performances and check the specified operational requirements. We focus particularly on the position resolution parameter which is the BPS figure of merit according to TBL demands and is expected to reach the 5um resolution at maximum beam current (28A). The beam test results of the BPS units are also compared with the parameters from their previous characterization test at lab.
