	Based on the success of the X-Band Transverse Deflecting Structure (TDS) diagnostic at LCLS, a collaboration between DESY, PSI and CERN has formed with the aim of developing and building an advanced modular X-Band TDS system. The designed TDS has the new feature of providing variable polarization of the deflecting field. The possibility of changing the orientation of the streaking field of the TDS to an arbitrary azimuthal angle allows for 3D characterization of the phase space using tomographic methods. Moreover the complete 6D characterization of the beam phase space is possible by combining this technique with quadrupole scans and a dipole spectrometer. As this new cavity design requires very high manufacturing precision to guarantee highest azimuthal symmetry of the structure to avoid the deterioration of the polarization of the streaking field, the high precision tuning-free assembly procedures developed at PSI for the SwissFEL C-band accelerating structures will be used for the manufacturing*. The high-power rf system is based on the CERN-based X-band test stands. We summarize in this work the status of the projects and its main technical parameters. C. Behrens et al. , Nat.

	In 2016, CLIC implementation working groups have started their reflection on how to finalize the CLIC design work in the different areas of the project, aiming for a technical design and an overall implementation plan for CLIC being available for the next European Strategy Update around 2019. One of the working groups has focused its attention on the Main Linac hardware, which has brought together the different competences of the study with the aim of producing an advanced set of specifications for the design, installation and operation of the CLIC module. As the fundamental unit for the construction of the Main Beam linac, the CLIC module needs to move from the existing prototypes exploring its performance into an advanced and functional unit where the full life cycle of the module is considered. The progress of the working group activity is summarized in this paper, with considerations on the requirements for the design of the next-phase CLIC module.

TUPAB017	Results of the Beam-Loading Breakdown Rate Experiment at the CLIC Test Facility CTF3	1348

	The RF breakdown rate is crucial for the luminosity performance of the CLIC linear collider. The required breakdown rate at the design gradient of 100 MV/m has been demonstrated, without beam presence, in a number of 12 GHz CLIC prototype structures. Nevertheless, the beam-loading at CLIC significantly changes the field profile inside the structures, and the behaviour with beam needs to be understood. A dedicated experiment in the CLIC Test Facility CTF3 to determine the effect of beam on the breakdown rate has been collecting breakdown data throughout the year 2016. The complete results of the experiment and the effect of the beam-loading on the breakdown rate are presented.

	Funding: PACMAN is founded under the European Union's 7th Framework Program Marie Curie Actions, grant PITN-GA-2013-606839 In the framework of the PACMAN project we have developed a test set-up to measure the electromagnetic centre of high gradient accelerating structures for alignment purposes. We have demonstrated with previous simulation studies that a resolution of 1 m is possible. The improvements applied on the technique and on the set-up, calibrations and the equipment instrumentation allows the measurement of the electromagnetic centre, with a final precision of 1.09 m in the horizontal plane and 0.58 m in the vertical plane. The experimental measurements and the simulation studies as a support to justify the numbers obtained are presented and discussed.

	Funding: The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union's 7th Framework Programme Marie Curie actions, grant agreement PITN-GA-2013-606839. The objectives of the PACMAN* project are to improve the precision and accuracy of the alignment of accelerator components. Two steps of alignment are concerned: the fiducialisation, i.e. the determination of the reference axis of components w.r.t alignment targets, and the initial alignment of components on a common support assembly. The main accelerator components considered for the study are quadrupoles, 15 GHz BPM and RF structures from the Compact LInear Collider (CLIC) project. Different methods have been developed to determine the reference axis of these components with a micrometric accuracy, as well as to determine the position of this reference axis in the coordinate frame of the common support assembly. The tools and methods developed have been validated with success on dedicated test setups using CLIC components. This paper will provide a compilation of the main achievements and results obtained. * PACMAN is an acronym for a study on Particle Accelerator Components' Metrology and Alignment to the Nanometre scale.

THPAB039	Novel Manufacturing Concepts for 12 GHz High Gradient Accelerating Structures	3787
	A. Solodko, S. Atieh, N. Catalán Lasheras, A. Grudiev, S. Lebet, W. Wuensch CERN, Geneva, Switzerland H. Zha TUB, Beijing, People's Republic of China
	CLIC high gradient accelerating structures (AS) work-ing in X-band are made of copper ultra-high precision discs, requiring both milling and turning operations. Discs are then joint together by diffusion bonding. The rest of important technical systems, such as vacuum, cooling and manifolds, to house damping silicon carbide absorbers, are brazed to the bonded disc stack afterwards. This manufacturing technique has been successfully demonstrated but it is very challenging and needs an accurate assembly at every production step. Main issues concern vacuum-tightness, misalignment, deformations during different assembly operations, defects of braz-ing/bonding operations (gaps, a leak of brazing material) etc. Preparation and repairs are time and resource con-suming and increase the final price of the accelerating structure. This paper describes the novel manufacturing concepts for 12 GHz high gradient AS and focuses on new joining techniques as electron beam welding or brazing, new engineering solutions, as rectangular cells or structures made of halves are being considered.

By power combination through hybrid couplers and the use of pulse compressors, up to 45 MW of peak power can be sent to any of 4 test slots at pulse repetition rates up to 400 Hz. The test stand is dedicated to RF conditioning and testing of high gradient accelerating structures for the CLIC study and also future X-band FELs. Operations have been ongoing for a few months, with initial operation dedicated to control algorithm development. Significant progress has been made in understanding the unique challenges of high power RF combination and phase switching using RF hybrids.
