  For the very low emittance beams in CLIC, it is vital to mitigate emittance growth which leads to reduced luminosity in the detectors. One factor that leads to emittance growth is transverse wakefields in the accelerating structures. In order to combat this the structures must be aligned with a precision of a few um. For achieving this tolerance, accelerating structures are equipped with wakefield monitors that measure higher-order dipole modes excited by the beam when offset from the structure axis. We report on such measurements, performed using prototype CLIC accelerating structures which are part of the module installed in the CLIC Test Facility 3 (CTF3) at CERN. Measurements with and without the drive beam that feeds rf power to the structures are compared. Improvements to the experimental setup are discussed, and finally remaining measurements that should be performed before the completion of the program are summarized.

  An X-band, high-power pulse compressor, which can produce a flat pulse and a power gain of 4.3, has been designed. The device is compact, with the dimensions of within 1m, and is designed for CLIC first energy stage based on klystrons. We also discuss about a two stage pulse compressor with power gain of 9.18, which may be a candidate of the X-FEL using CLIC X-band linacs and klystrons with low peak power.

  The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) study for a future electron-positron collider with a center-of-mass energy up to 3 TeV aims for an accelerating gradient of 100 MV/m. The gradient is limited by RF breakdowns, and the luminosity requirements impose a limit on the admissible RF breakdown rate. RF testing of 12 GHz structure prototypes has shown that gradients in excess of 100 MV/m can be reached with the required breakdown rate. However at CLIC, the structures will be operated with significant beam-loading, modifying the field distribution inside. The effect of the beam-loading must be well understood but has not been previously measured. The commissioning and operation of an experiment to measure the effect of beam-loading on breakdown rate and the measurement results are presented.

  A CLIC prototype structure, T24_THU_#1, was recently high-gradient tested at KEK X-band test stand, Nextef. The copper parts of this 24-cell TW structure were delivered from CERN, were bonded and brazed, bench-tested and tuned in Tsinghua University. The aim of this test was not only to verify the cavity high-gradient properties under 100 MV/m but also to study the breakdown phenomenon in high gradient. High power test results were presented and breakdown rate under 100 MV/m was compared to previously-tested CLIC prototype structures. The assembly capability of Tsinghua University for X-band high gradient structures was validated by the good high gradient performance of T24_THU_#1.

  A new quantity has been developed to study the relationship among the breakdown rate, the pulse width and the gradient. Difference pulse shapes can be treated by introducing a Green's function. This paper describes the quantity and the results while it is applied to the data of many high-power test runs of different single-cell standing wave accelerating structures. A remarkably similar relationship between the new quantity and breakdown rate is observed from all of the test results.

  As an alternative design for CLIC main accelerating structures, X-band choke-mode damped structures had been studied for several years. However, the performance of choke-mode cavity under high power is still in lack of research. Two standing wave single cell choke-mode damped accelerating structures with different choke dimensions which are working at 11.424 GHz were designed, manufactured and bench tested by accelerator group in Tsinghua University. High power test was carried out on it to study the breakdown phenomenon in high gradient. A single cell structure without choke which almost has the same inner dimension as choke-mode cavity will also be tested to make a comparison and study how the choke affects high-gradient properties.
