  Within a collaboration between CERN, PSI and Sincrotrone Trieste (ST), a multi- purpose X-band accelerating structure has been designed and fabricated, used for high gradients tests in the CLIC structure testing program and in the FEL projects of PSI and ST. The structure has 72 cells with a phase advance of 5 pi/6 and includes upstream and downstream wakefield monitors to measure the beam alignment. The SLAC mode launcher design is used to feed it with RF power. Following the CERN fabrication procedures for high-gradient structure, diffusion bonding and brazing in hydrogen atmosphere is used to assemble the cells. After tuning, a vacuum bakeout is required before the feedthroughs for the wake field monitors are welded in as a last step. We describe the experiences gained in finishing the first two structures out of a series of four and present the results from the RF tuning and low level RF tests.

  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.

  A Damped Detuned Structure (DDS), known as CLICDDSA*, has been designed for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) study, and is presently under fabrication. The wakefield in DDS structures is damped using a combination of detuning the frequencies of beam-excited higher order modes and by light damping, through slot-coupled manifolds. The broad principles of the design are similar to that used in the NLC/GLC**. This serves as an alternative to the present baseline CLIC design which relies on heavy damping. CLICDDSA is conceived to be tested for its capacity to sustain high gradients at CERN. This structure operates with a 120 degrees phase advance per cell. We report on engineering design and fabrication details of the structure consisting of 24 regular cells plus 2 matching cells at both ends, all diffusion bonded together. This design takes into account practical mechanical engineering issues and is the result of several optimizations since the earlier CLICDDS designs.

  The accelerating structures (AS) are one of the main components of the Compact LInear Collider (CLIC), under study at CERN. Each AS contains about 30 copper disks, which form the accelerating cavity. A fully featured AS is very challenging and requires several technologies. Different damping methods, waveguides, vacuum manifolds, slots and choke, result in various design configurations. In the CLIC multibunch AS, called TDS (Tapered Damped Structure), each cell is damped by its four waveguides, which are extended by channels machined in dedicated external vacuum manifolds. The manifolds combine few functions such as damping, vacuum pumping and cooling. Silicon carbide absorbers, fixed inside of each manifold, are required for effective damping of High Order Modes. CERN is producing X-band RF structures in close collaboration with a large number of laboratories taking advantage of their large expertise and test facilities. The fabrication includes several steps from the machining to the final assembly, including quality controls. This paper describes the engineering design and fabrication procedure of the X-band AS with damping material, by focusing on few technical solutions.

  The Compact LInear Collider (CLIC), being studied at CERN, involves the design and integration of many different technical systems, tightly bound and influencing each other. For the construction of two main linacs it has been decided to proceed with a modular design, and repetitive two-beam modules of a few types were defined. The modules consist of micro-precision components operating under ultra-high vacuum as required by the beam physics. For the CLIC Conceptual Design Report, the development and system integration is mainly focused on the most complex module type containing the highest number of components and technical systems. For proving the proper functioning of the needed technical systems and confirming their feasibility it has been decided to build four prototype modules and test them without beam. In addition, three modules have to be produced in parallel for tests in the CLIC Experimental Area with beam. This paper is focused on the design of the different technical systems and integration issues of the two-beam module. The experimental program for the prototype modules is also recalled.

  The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is currently under study at CERN as a potential multi-TeV e+e– collider. The manufacturing and assembling tolerances for making the required RF components are essential for CLIC to perform efficiently. Machining techniques are relevant to the construction of ultra-high-precision parts for the Accelerating Structures (AS). Optical-quality turning and ultra-precision milling using diamond tools are the main manufacturing techniques identified to produce ultra-high shape accuracy parts. A shape error of less than 5 micrometres and roughness of Ra 0.025 are achieved. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) observation as well as sub-micron precision Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), roughness measurements and their crucial environment were implemented at CERN for quality assurance and further development. This paper focuses on the enhancements of precision machining and characterizing the fabrication of AS parts.
