/ Lettry, J (CERN) ; Vnuchenko, A (CERN) ; Bertolo, S (CERN) ; Mastrostefano, C (CERN) ; O'Neil, M (CERN) ; di Lorenzo, F (CERN) ; Coutron, Y (CERN) ; Steyeart, D (CERN) ; Riffaud, B (CERN) ; Thiboud, J (CERN) et al.
A caesiated RF driven source delivers H$^{-}$ ions that, after stripping at the end of the 160 MeV H$^{-}$ linear injector, provides protons to CERN's accelerator complex including LHC, where the protons reached a record energy of 6.8 TeV. In Caesiated RF sources, H$^{-}$ ions are produced via dissociative attachment of electrons onto roto-vibrationally excited H$_{2}$-molecules (volume) and re-emission as negative ions of protons or hydrogen atoms colliding on a low work function caesiated molybdenum plasma electrode (surface).

Plasmaphys.) ; Fantz, Ursel (LPGP, Orsay) ; Lindqvist, Max (Garching, Max Planck Inst. Plasmaphys.) ; Revel, Adrien (LPGP, Orsay) ; Minea, Tiberiu (LPGP, Orsay)
The caesiated surface negative ion source is the first element of CERN's LINAC4 a linear injector designed to accelerate negative hydrogen ions to 160 MeV. The IS03 ion source is operated at 35 mA beam intensity and reliably feeds CERN's accelerator chain, H- ions are generated via plasma volume and caesiated molybdenum plasma electrode surface mechanisms.

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. [...]

High-gradient testing of an $S$-band, normal-conducting low phase velocity accelerating structure
/ Vnuchenko, A (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Esperante Pereira, D (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Gimeno Martinez, B (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Benedetti, S (CERN) ; Catalan Lasheras, N (CERN) ; Garlasch, M (CERN) ; Grudiev, A (CERN) ; McMonagle, G (CERN) ; Pitman, S (CERN) ; Syratchev, I (CERN) et al.
A novel high-gradient accelerating structure with low phase velocity, v/c=0.38, has been designed, manufactured and high-power tested. The structure was designed and built using the methodology and technology developed for CLIC 100 MV/m high-gradient accelerating structures, which have speed of light phase velocity, but adapts them to a structure for nonrelativistic particles.

The PRAE project (Platform for Research and Applications with Electrons) aims at creating a multidisciplinary R&D; facility in the Orsay campus gathering various scientific communities involved in radiobiology, subatomic physics, instrumentation and particle accelerators around an electron accelerator delivering a high-performance beam with energy up to 70 MeV and later 140 MeV, in order to perform a series of unique measurements and future challenging R&D.; In this paper we report the first start-to-end simulations from the RF gun, going through the linac and finally to the different experimental platforms. The beam dynamics simulations have been performed using a concatenation of codes. [...]
