  The S1-Global collaboration (scope and plans presented at Linac10) ended successfully in 2011. In the S1-Global experiment several variants of ILC components (e.g. cavities, tuners, modules, couplers) proposed by all SCRF collaborators worldwide have been extensively tested and their performances compared, in order to build consensus for the technical choices towards the ILC TDR and to develop further the concept of plug-compatible components for ILC. The experiment has been carried at KEK with contribution of hardware and manpower from all collaborators.

  Since 2009 and under the scope of the International Linear Collider (ILC) R&D, a series of studies takes place twice a year at the Free electron Laser accelerator in Hamburg, (FLASH) DESY, in order to investigate technical challenges related to the high-gradient, high-beam-current design of the ILC. Such issues as operating cavities near their quench limit with high beam loading or in klystron saturation regime are investigated, always pushing the limits of FLASH nominal operational conditions. To support these studies, a series of automation algorithms have been developed and implemented at DESY. These include automatic detection of cavity quenches, automatic adjustment of the superconducting cavity quality factor, and automatic compensation of detuning due to Lorentz forces. This paper explains the functionality of these automation tools, details about their implementation, and shows the experience acquired during the last 9mA ILC test which took place at DESY in February 2012. The benefit of these algorithms and the R&D results these automation tools have permitted will be clearly explained.
