We describe the design and technical characteristics of a C-band SW accelerating structure of a 12 MeV race-track microtron, which is under construction at the Technical University of Catalonia, and its RF system with a 5712 MHz magnetron as a source. Results of cold tests of the accelerating structure, before and after the brazing, and of high-power tests of the RF system at a special stand are reported. The main features of the magnetron frequency stabilization subsystem are also outlined.

The PI-Mode Structure (PIMS) of Linac4 consists of 7-cell cavities made from alternating OFE copper discs and rings welded together with electron beam (EB) welding. A full-scale prototype cavity of almost 1.5 m in length has been manufactured, assembled, and tested at CERN to prepare the series production of 12 PIMS cavities as part of an international collaboration. This paper reports on the construction experience including machining operations, EB welding, vacuum brazing, and metrological measurements results.

As the first step of a long-term programme aiming at an increase in the LHC luminosity, CERN is building a new 160 MeV H⁻ linear accelerator, Linac4, to replace the ageing 50 MeV Linac2 as injector to the Proton-Synchrotron Booster (PSB). Linac4 is an 86-m long normal-conducting linac made of an H⁻ source, a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ), a chopping line and a sequence of three accelerating structures: a Drift-Tube Linac (DTL), a Cell-Coupled DTL (CCDTL) and a Pi-Mode Structure (PIMS). The civil engineering has been recently completed, and construction of the main accelerator components has started with the support of a network of international collaborations. The low-energy section up to 3 MeV including a 3-m long 352 MHz RFQ entirely built at CERN is in the final construction phase and is being installed on a dedicated test stand. The present schedule foresees beam commissioning of the accelerator in the new tunnel in 2013/14; the moment of connection of the new linac to the CERN accelerator chain will depend on the LHC schedule for long shut-downs.
