/ Lasheen, Alexandre (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Damerau, Heiko (CERN) ; Demetriadou, Despina (CERN) ; Vinten, Evin (CERN) ; Hermes, Pascal (CERN) ; Kain, Verena (CERN) ; Karpov, Ivan (CERN) ; Papotti, Giulia (CERN) ; Vadai, Mihaly (CERN) et al.
The High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project at CERN aims at doubling the beam intensity and the brightness. To achieve this unprecedented performance, the LHC injectors were upgraded during the Long Shutdown 2 (2019-2021) to overcome limitations such as space charge and beam instabilities. [...]

/ Millar, William L (CERN) ; Grudiev, Alexej (CERN) ; Wuensch, Walter (CERN) ; Lasheras, Nuria Catalan (CERN) ; McMonagle, Gerard (CERN) ; Zennaro, Riccardo (PSI, Villigen) ; Craievich, Paolo (PSI, Villigen) ; Bopp, Markus (PSI, Villigen) ; Lucas, Thomas G (PSI, Villigen) ; Volpi, Matteo (CERN ; Melbourne U.) et al.
This article presents the design, construction, and high-power test of two X -band radio frequency (RF) accelerating structures built as part of a collaboration between CERN and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) for the compact linear collider (CLIC) study. The structures are a modified “tuning-free” variant of an existing CERN design and were assembled using Swiss free electron laser (SwissFEL) production methods. [...]

At the end of the 2018 run the intensity target for the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) had just been reached at extraction from the Proton Synchrotron (PS). In the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project additional RF improvements have been implemented during the 2019/2020 long shutdown (LS2), mainly impacting the impedance of the 10 MHz, 40 MHz, and 80 MHz RF systems.

Initial Testing of Techniques for Large Scale Rf Conditioning for the Compact Linear Collider
/ Lucas, Thomas (Melbourne U. ; CERN) ; Boland, Mark (Saskatchewan U., CLS) ; Catalán Lasheras, Nuria (CERN) ; Giansiracusa, Paul (Melbourne U.) ; Grudiev, Alexej (CERN) ; Lefèvre, Thibaut (CERN) ; McMonagle, Gerard (CERN) ; Paszkiewicz, Jan (Oxford U. ; CERN) ; Rassool, Roger (Melbourne U.) ; Serpico, Claudio (Sincrotrone Trieste) et al.
Nominal operating conditions for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) 380 GeV requires 72 MV/m loaded accelerating gradients for a 180 ns flat-top pulse. Achieving this requires extensive RF conditioning which past tests have demonstrated can take several months per structure, when conditioned at the nominal repetition rate of 50 Hz. [...]

As part of the effort to qualify CLIC accelerating struc-tures prototypes, new X-band test facilities have been built and commissioned at CERN in the last years. In this context, a number of RF components have been designed and manufactured aiming at stable operation above 50 MW peak power and several kW of average power. [...]

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) beam-based acceleration baseline uses high-gradient travelling wave accelerating structures at a frequency of 12 GHz. In order to prove the performance of these structures at high peak power and short pulse width RF, two klystron-based test facilities have been put in operation in the last years. [...]
