Conclusion & future plan We optimized the waveguide shape to gain lower pulse T-rise and more compact waveguide design. Need more investigate on the rounding and polynomial wall shape. Future: optimize on the tapering of iris aperture. Goal: Lower cost, lower input power, lower surface field.
CLIC open structure
Gap and rounding Gap will cut off fields, but still some electric field near the iris gap. This may cause multi-pacting. Elliptical rounding has identical profile to that of iris: easier manufacturing. Regular rounding Elliptical rounding Electric field in the gap
Gap and rounding Small gap has lower field, but has risk of multipacting. We took 1mm as current design. Elliptical rounding has lower field (except for a little bit higher H- field)
Race track cell Due to limitation of milling head, there is a flat section in the cell profile => race track cells (like muffin-tin cells) Milling head
race track cell Optimum solution: Fx = 4mm, Fy = 1.2mm (minimum value).

Conclusion & Future plan We designed a open un-damped X-band accelerating structure for CLIC. We optimized on the gap dimension, geometry of rounding and cell profile, to get lower surface field. We design coupler and full structure, which had been already manufactured. Cold test and brazing are still undergoing in SLAC. In future prototype will be delivered to CERN for high power test.
