  The Pre-Damping Rings (PDRs) and Damping Rings (DRs) of CLIC are required to reduce the beam emittances to the small values required for the main linacs. The injection and extraction, from the PDRs and DRs, are performed by kicker systems. To achieve both low beam coupling impedance and reasonable broadband impedance matching to the electrical circuit, striplines have been chosen for the kicker elements. Prototype striplines have been built: tests and measurements of these striplines have started. The goal of these tests is to characterize, without beam, the electromagnetic response of the striplines. The tests have been carried out at CERN. To study the signal transmission through the striplines, the measured S-parameters have been compared with simulations. In addition, measurements of longitudinal beam coupling impedance, using the coaxial wire method, are reported and compared with simulations.

This paper presents the design of a halo collimation system for the ATF2 beamline. The main objective is the reduction of background noise that limits the performance of key diagnostic devices around the final focal point (IP), especially the Shintake Monitor (IPBSM) used for measuring the nanometer level vertical beam sizes and the future Diamond Sensor (DS) for measuring the beam halo. Beam tracking simulations have been performed to optimize the position and characteristics of the halo collimation devices. Furthermore the collimator wakefield-induced effect is being studied.

  The post-linac energy collimation system of CLIC is designed to fulfill an essential function of protection of the Beam Delivery System (BDS) against miss-steered beams generated by failure modes in the main linac. Guaranteeing the collimator survivability in case of direct beam impact is very challenging, if we take into account the need to deal with an unprecedented transverse beam energy density per beam of the order of GJ/mm2. This translates into a high damage potential of uncontrolled beams. In this paper we present an alternative nonlinear energy collimation system as a potential solution to guarantee the survival of the collimators. The performance and error tolerances of this system are studied by means of beam tracking simulations, and compared with those of the conventional baseline CLIC energy collimation system.

In this paper we review the status of the studies on nonlinear collimation schemes for the LHC. Concretely we describe the design of a nonlinear optics for betatron cleaning in IR7. The aim is to investigate alternative nonlinear collimation systems to reduce the collimator-induced impedance that may limit the beam intensity towards the LHC luminosity upgrade. The performance of the LHC nonlinear collimation system is studied by means of tracking simulations and compared with the present LHC system. Furthermore, the advantages and possible limitations of such nonlinear collimation scheme are discussed.

Beam halo hitting on the beam pipe after the Interaction Point (IP) can generate a large amount of background for the measurements of the nano meter beam size using the laser interferometer beam size monitor (Shintake monitor) at ATF2. In order to investigate the beam halo transverse distribution, a diamond detector will be installed downstream of the IP. A feasibility study of a transverse halo collimation system to reduce the background for these measurements is also in progress. Prior to the diamond detector installation, a first attempt of beam halo measurements have been performed in 2013 using the currently installed wire scanners. Modeling of the beam halo distribution in the extraction (EXT) line was done and compared with the old modeling for ATF. Beam halo measurements were also done using the post-IP wire scanner to investigate the beam halo distribution at post-IP.

Precise and fast beam size measurement and emittance reconstruction in the different subsystems and transfer lines of the Future Linear Colliders (ILC and CLIC) will be essential for beam tuning in order to achieve the required luminosity. In this paper we investigate the feasibility of using a multi-Optical Transition Radiation (m-OTR) system for fast transverse beam size measurement, emittance reconstruction and coupling correction in the Ring to Main Linac (RTML) of the FLCs. Diagnostic sections of the RTML have been matched to the optimum optical conditions for emittance reconstruction. The necessary requirements for the OTR monitors to be placed in the RTML are discussed.
