	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.

MOPP035	Bead-Pull Measurement Method and Tuning of a Prototype CLIC Crab Cavity	134

	A bead-pull method has been developed which measures in a single bead passage the amplitude and phase advance of deflecting mode travelling wave structures. This bead-pull method has been applied to measure and tune a Lancaster University-designed prototype crab cavity for CLIC. The technique and tuning results are described.

	The study of high gradient limitations due to RF breakdowns is extremely important for the CLIC project. A series of diagnostic tools and analysis techniques have been developed in order to monitor and characterize the behaviour of CLIC accelerating structures under high power operation in the first CERN X-band klystron-based test stand (Xbox1). The data collected during the last run on a TD26r05 structure are presented in this paper. From the analysis of the RF power and phases, the location of the breakdowns inside the structure could be determined. Other techniques based on the field emitted dark current signals collected by Faraday cups placed at the two extremities of the structure have also been investigated. The results of these analyses are reported and discussed.

	The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a study for a future room temperature electron-positron collider with a maximum center-of-mass energy of 3 TeV. To efficiently achieve such high energy, the project relies on a novel two beam acceleration concept and on high-gradient accelerating structures working at 100 MV/m. In order to meet the luminosity requirements, the break-down rate in these high-field structures has to be kept below 10 per billion. Such gradients and breakdown rates have been demonstrated by high-power RF testing several 12 GHz structures. However, the presence of beam-loading modifies the field distribution for the structure, such that a higher input power is needed in order to achieve the same accelerating gradient as the unloaded case. The potential impact on the break-down rate was never measured before. In this paper we present an experiment located at the CLIC Test Facility CTF3 recently proposed in order to quantify this effect, layout and hardware status, and discuss its first results.

	One compact hard X-ray FEL facility is being planned at SINAP, and X-band high gradient accelerating structure is the most competetive scheme for this plan. X-band accelerating structure is designed to switch between 60MV/m and 80MV/m, and carries out 6GeV and 8GeV by 130 meters linac respectively. In this paper, brief layout of compact XFEL will be introduced, and in particular the prototype design of dedicated X-band acceleration RF system is also 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.

	Proton therapy is a rapidly developing technique for tumour treatment, thanks to the physical and dosimetric advantages of charged particles in the dose distribution. Here the RF design of a novel high gradient accelerating structure for proton Linacs is discussed. The choice of a linear accelerator lies mainly in its advantage over cyclotron and synchrotron in terms of fast energy modulation of the beam, which allows the implementation of active spot scanning technique without need of passive absorbers. The design discussed hereafter represents a unicum thanks to the accelerating mode chosen, a 2.9985 GHz backward traveling wave mode with 150° phase advance, and to the RF design approach. The prototype has been designed to reach an accelerating gradient of 50 MV/m, which is more than twice that obtained before. This would allow a shorter Linac potentially reducing cost. The complete 3D RF design of the full structure for beta equal to 0.38 is presented. A prototype will be soon produced and tested at high power. This structure is part of the TULIP project, a proton therapy single-room facility based on high gradient linear accelerators.
