  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.
