	Aviation cargo Unit Load Device (ULD) containers are typically much smaller than standard shipping containers, with a volume of around 1m3. Standard 3-6 MeV X-ray screening linacs have too much energy to obtain sufficient contrast when inspecting ULD’s, hence a lower 1 MeV linac is required. In order to obtain a small physical footprint, which can be adapted to mobile platform applications a compact design is required, hence X-band technology is the ideal solution. A prototype 1 MeV linac cavity has been designed by Lancaster University, manufactured by Comeb (Italy) and tested at STFC Daresbury Laboratory using an e2v magnetron, modulator and electron gun. The cavity is a bi-periodic π/2 structure, with beam-pipe aperture coupling to simplify the manufacture at the expense of shunt impedance. The design, manufacture and testing of this linac structure is presented.

	CLIC will require two crab cavities to align the beams to provide an effective head-on collision with a 20 mdeg crossing angle at the interaction point. An X-band system has been chosen for the crab cavities. Three prototype cavities have been developed in order to test the high power characteristics of these cavities. One cavity has been made by UK industry and one has been made using the same process as the CLIC main linac in order to gain understanding of breakdown behaviour in X-band deflecting cavities. The final cavity incorporates mode-damping waveguides on each cell which will eventually contain SiC dampers. This paper details the design, manufacture and preparation of these cavities for testing and a report on their status.

	The CLARA injector is required to deliver ultrashort singe electron pulses with a charge of 250 pC following with a repetition rate of 100 and/or 400 Hz. It should also provide 2 us trains of twenty 25 pC pulses with a repetition rate 100 Hz. To meet this challenge, a 1.5 cell S-band photocathode gun with a field of up to 120 MV/m and coaxial coupling has been chosen. The length of the first cell of 0.5 is decided on the basis of beam dynamic simulation with the goal to obtain optimal for CLARA parameters. In order to improve amplitude and phase stability of the RF field, the gun is equipped with RF probes, which will provide feedback to the RF system. The gun and coupler were designed to accept up to 10 MW peak and 10 kW average RF powers. Cooling will be achieved by water channels cut into the bulk of the copper. The coupler will transition from waveguide to coax using an innovative H-shaped dual feed system that cancels out any dipole mode components and allows tuning of the match. The RF and mechanical design of the CLARA high brightness photocathode gun along with beam dynamics simulations are presented in this paper.
