  For the European XFEL multi-beam klystrons, which can produce RF power of 10 MW at an RF frequency of 1.3 GHz, at 1.5 ms pulse length and 10 Hz repetition rate, were chosen as RF power sources. Twenty-seven of horizontal multi-beam klystrons (MBK) together with connection modules (CM) will be installed in the XFEL underground tunnel. The CM will be installed on the MBK and connects the MBK to the pulse transformer with only one HV cable, because the CM has a filament transformer inside as well as all diagnostics for HV and cathode current measurements. MBK prototypes together with CM prototypes have been tested for long time at a test stand at DESY, about 3000 hours of operation for each of horizontal MBK with full RF output power, full pulse length and repetition rate of 10 Hz. Testing of first MBKs from series production has been started. In this paper we will give an overview of the test procedure, summarize the current test results and we will give a comparison of the most important parameters.

  The linac of IUAC consists of three main accelerating modules with each one housing eight superconducting quarter wave resonators. Currently, the phase locking of the resonator is performed by a combination of fast I-Q based electronic tuner and helium gas flow based mechanical tuner. Microphonics measurement on the resonators found the presence of lower frequency vibrations along with main mechanical mode (~60 Hz) of the resonators. Although main mechanical mode of the resonator is damped by using SS balls, the presence of lower frequency vibrations demand more RF power from the amplifier, as the existing mechanical tuner works in time scale of seconds. A combination of piezoelectric actuator based fast tuner along with stepper motor based coarse tuner operating in the time scale of milliseconds is being developed. This scheme is implemented on a few resonators in last linac cryostat. Initial results show that this mechanism can arrest all low frequency vibrations thereby reducing a substantial load from the electronic tuner and improve the dynamics of the phase locking scheme. The implementation scheme along with test results will be presented in detail.
