We re­port the sta­tus of the de­vel­op­ment of an High Power RF Lab­o­ra­tory in X-Band called TEX (TEst-stand for X-Band). TEX is part of the LATINO (Lab­o­ra­tory in Ad­vanced Tech­nolo­gies for IN­nO­va­tion) ini­tia­tive that is on­go­ing at the Fras­cati Na­tional Lab­o­ra­to­ries (LNF) of the Ital­ian In­sti­tute for Nu­clear Physics (INFN) that cov­ers many dif­fer­ent areas fo­cused on par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tor tech­nolo­gies. TEX is a RF test fa­cil­ity based on solid-state K400 mod­u­la­tor from Scan­di­Nova with a 50MW class X-band (11.996 GHz) kly­stron tube model vkx 8311a op­er­at­ing at 50 Hz. This RF source will op­er­ate as re­source for test and re­search pro­grams such as the RF break­down on RF wave­guide com­po­nents as well as high power test­ing of ac­cel­er­at­ing struc­tures for fu­ture high gra­di­ent lin­ear ac­cel­er­a­tor such as Eu­PRAXIA and CLIC. The high power test­ing will be per­formed in a ded­i­cated brand-new bunker that has been re­cently built. RF sys­tem, vac­uum con­trols and safety equip­ments are cur­rently being in­stalled. The first ac­cel­er­at­ing struc­ture test­ing is sched­uled by be­gin­ning 2022. In this doc­u­ment de­sign and tests for all the sub-sys­tems of the fa­cil­ity will be pre­sented and dis­cussed.

In 2020 the INFN-LNF LINAC and BTF have per­formed long-term runs for test beams and fixed-tar­get ex­per­i­ments. The sci­en­tific needs of these items have been lead­ing our groups to con­tin­u­ous im­prove­ments of the LINAC op­er­a­tive range both in pulse time at max­i­mum en­ergy and on the min­i­mum trans­ported en­ergy, until the reset to DAΦNE in­jec­tions at the be­gin­ning of 2021. We will also show the BTF re­cent de­vel­op­ments in the trans­ported beams and the sec­ond line in­stal­la­tion.
