While the physics of gradient limitations in high frequency rf accelerators still lacks a full theoretical understanding, a fairly complete empirical picture has emerged from the experimental work done in the past few years to characterize this phenomenon.Experimental results obtained mostly in the framework of the NLC/GLC project at 11 GHz and from the CLIC study at 30 GHz will be used to illustrate the important trends.The dependence of achievable gradient on pulse length, operating frequency and fabrication materials will be described. Also, the performance results most relevant to linear colliders will be presented in some detail. Specifically, these relate to the requirements that the structures sustain a certain gradient without incurring damaged, and that more importantly, they run reliably at this gradient, with breakdown rates less one in a million pulses. Finally interesting observations concerning the dynamics of breakdowns like spatial and temporal correlations and dark currents will be covered briefly, including the insights they provide into the breakdown mechanism.

The paper will review superconducting RF cavity performance for β=1 cavities used in both linear and circular accelerators. These superconducting cavities are used in two kinds of applications: High current storage rings and efficient high duty cycle linacs. In recent years the performance of those cavities has been improving steadily. High accelerating gradients have been achieved using advanced surface preparation techniques like electropolishing and surface cleaning methods like high pressure water rinsing. High intensity beams can be handled with advanced higher-order-mode damping schemes.

Nowadays the designer of a new rf control system has access to a wealth of powerful digital, analog, and rf circuitry. The requirements for the rf control system have changed from only controlling the amplitude and phase of the accelerating field to the required degree to stability. Additional tasks include exception handling and extensive build-in diagnostics while pursuing issues related to reliability, operability, and maintainability. Also operation close to the performance limit must be supported while maximizing the availability of the accelerator. With many accelerator projects in planning or under construction several state-of-the art rf control designs have evolved. This paper will present an overview of this new technology and discuss its performance.

Many accelerator applications such as advanced accelerator R&D, free-electron laser drivers and linear colliders, require high peak current electron bunches. The bunch is generally shortened via magnetic compression. In the present paper we review various bunch compression schemes and discuss their limitations. We present experimental results, achieved at various facilities, along with on-going theoretical work on promising novel compression techniques.
