Xbox3. RF network installed and under vacuum Pulse compressors delayed. Installation during summer
Xbox3. LLRF and diagnostics Low level RF ready and under installation. New Solid State Amplifier 400 W AM61-12S-60-56-PR SN001 arrived and successfully tested. Signal and RF Cabling ongoing
Xbox2. Roof shielding limitation 6 mm lead doors installed on the central part of the roof 20% reduction on radiation level 20-30 cm of concrete to shield the current radiation 60 cm concrete slabs under construction by SMB RF cables’ installation on hold 1st March 7th March In the bunker (left scale) On the roof (right scale) -20% shield
Xbox2. Conditioning at reduced power Run without pulse compressor 200 ns 155 ns 100 ns
Xbox2. Working at lower power Using Pulse Compressor Using directly Klystron Output power Question: Breakdown Rate dependence on Pulse shape? No conclusive results yet
Xbox2. Beam loss monitors and radiation M. Kastriotou After Xbox1, smaller optical fibre beam loss monitors installed in Xbox2 Detection of dark current and breakdowns under study Energy scan
Xbox1. Beam loading experiment on TD26CC_1 75 MV/m Loaded 100 MV/m Unloaded 66 MV/m Anti-Loaded 68 MV/m 4th March 22nd March 11th April
Xbox1. Beam loading Results • Average Gradient o Peak Gradient Both Breakdown Rate measurements and breakdown positioning analysis show that performance of the structure is limited by the peak gradient rather than the average. CLIC Experimental Verification Meeting
Structures status Ready to be tested Under manufacturing TD24_R05_SiC_1 TD24_R05_3 TD26_CC_2 (repaired) TD26_CC_3 TD25_R3_1 PSI_1 (kink) TD24_R05_SiC_2 T24_4/5 TD26_R1_1/2/3/4 T24_PSI T24_Half SLAC_2 TD26_CIEMAT
TD26_CC_3 ready for test Tuned last Friday! Stored under Nitrogen First structure to be bonded in the small oven next to the clean area 14 hours natural cool down may have caused bending of 30 mm Tuned last Friday! Stored under Nitrogen
TD24_R05_SiC_2 Bonding and geometrical control + data in excel format; + easy to analyze data; only time interval; Perpendicularity compensation. Metrological control done. Ready to go back for assembly

TD26_R1_CC mechanical design SWAGELOK FITTING Ø80 mm Ø83 mm Problem region 1. Assembly of CC waveguide 2. Machining of interfaces 3. Brazing of IUWR90 flange 4. Bonding 5. Brazing of vacuum tube, flange and tuning studs 6. Brazing of CC waveguides to the disc stack 7. Brazing of cooling circuits with brazing shims to the disc stack In one step
TD26_R1_CC. Status Four units to be ready by 2017 COOLING BLOCK SWAGELOK DISC STACK VACUUM FLANGE IUWR90 FLANGE COMPACT COUPLER WG Four units to be ready by 2017 Technical specifications ready Procurement of disks waiting for final drawing approval
Structures done outside CERN TD26 Structure under procurement in CIEMAT (ES) Structures made from halves under manufacture at SLAC (US) T24 structure using brazing being procured at PSI (CH)
Putting it altogether. Testing planning. Xbox1 not available after 2016 Development of power splitter to double the capacity in Xbox2 Component tests may be necessary Trans-national access will add to the picture
Conclusions Xboxes. Structure production Xbox3 installation on-going. All parts at CERN Waiting for roof shielding and cabling campaign, Debugging and testing of the electronics going on First commissioning in May/June without pulse compressors, Operation in summer Xbox2 on hold for roof shielding Xbox1 running fine with some hardware effort due to the large power Structure production peaking up in preparation of increasing number of slots Large contribution from outside partners
