  As is widely recognized, fourth generation Light Sources are based on FELs driven by Linacs. Soft and hard X-ray FEL facilities are presently operational at several laboratories, SLAC (LCLS), Spring-8 (SACLA), Elettra-Sincrotrone Trieste (FERMI), DESY (FLASH), or are in the construction phase, PSI (SwissFEL), PAL (PAL-XFEL), DESY (European X-FEL), SLAC (LCLS II), or are newly proposed in many laboratories. Most of the above mentioned facilities use NC S-band (3 GHz) or C-band (6 GHz) linacs for generating a multi-GeV low emittance beam. The use of the C-band increases the linac operating gradients, with an overall reduction of the machine length and cost. These advantages, however, can be further enhanced by using X-band (12 GHz) linacs that operate with gradients twice that given by C-band technology. With the low bunch charge option, currently considered for future X-ray FELs, X-band technology offers a low cost and compact solution for generating multi-GeV, low emittance bunches. The paper reports the ongoing activities in the framework of a collaboration among several laboratories for the development and validation of X-band technology for FEL based photon sources.

  When optimizing the shape of high-gradient accelerating cells, the goal has traditionally been to minimize the peak surface electric field / gradient, or more recently minimizing the peak modified Poynting vector / gradient squared. This paper presents a method for directly comparing these quan- tities, as well as the power flow per circumference / gradient squared. The method works by comparing the maximum tolerable gradient at a fixed pulse length and breakdown rate that can be expected from the different constraints. The paper also presents a set of 120° phase-advance cells for traveling wave structures, which were designed for the new CLIC main linac accelerating structure, and which are optimized according to these criteria.

  Tests of Beam-Based Alignment have been performed at FACET, at SLAC in the USA, and at Fermi, at Elettra in Trieste, Italy, with very promising results. Dispersion-Free Steering and Wakefield-free steering have been successfully applied to both machines. In order to make the correction process as automatic as possible, a set of robust tools has been developed, which allowed to span a large set of parameters. These tools and some of the experimental results performed at both machines are presented in this paper.

  The Test Beam Line at the CLIC Test Facility 3 at CERN is a proof-of-principle of the future CLIC decelerators, which will extract a large amount of beam energy for acceleration of the main CLIC beams. The current beamline consists of a FODO lattice with 13 Power Extraction and Transfer Structures (PETS). We discuss beam deceleration measurements of up to 37 %, taking into account effects from the bunch length and the bunch phase. The 12 GHz phase is reproduced based on measurements in a PETS with an uncombined beam. The spectrometer measurements are also compared to predictions based on the beam current and on the produced rf power in the PETS, as well as particle tracking simulations with the Placet code.
