  The energy upgrade of the SPARC photo-injector at LNF-INFN (Italy) from 150 to more than 240 MeV will be done by replacing a low gradient S-Band accelerating structure with two C-band structures. The structures are Traveling Wave (TW) and Constant Impedance (CI), have symmetric axial input couplers and have been optimized to work with a SLED RF input pulse. In the paper we present the results of the low and high power RF tests on the two final fabricated structures that shown the feasibility of the operation at accelerating gradients larger than 35 MV/m.

  The infinite length approximation is often used to simplify the calculation of the beam coupling impedance of accelerator elements. This is expected to be a reasonable assumption for devices whose length is greater than the transverse dimension but may be a less accurate approximation for segmented devices. In this contribution we present the extension of the study of the beam coupling impedance of a finite length device to the transverse plane. In order to take into account the finite length, we decompose the fields in the cavity and in the beam pipe into a set of orthonormal modes and apply the Mode Matching method to obtain the impedance. To validate our method, we will present comparisons between analytical formulas and 3D electromagnetic CST simulations.

  The Side Coupled Drift Tube Linac (SCDTL) is a 3 GHz accelerating structure for proton therapy linac designed for TOP-IMPLART, an Intensity Modulated Proton Linear Accelerator for Radio-Therapy. The structure is made up of short DTL accelerating tanks for low current proton beams, coupled by side coupling cavities. The purpose of this paper is to report on the analysis of electromagnetic and the thermo-mechanical behavior for the SCDTL structure. The 3D electromagnetic analysis is used to derive the power dissipation on the structure; then one can infer the temperature distribution and deformation field in order to eventually evaluate their feedback on the electromagnetic properties of the structure as, for instance, the cavity resonant frequency shift. Such a "multi-physics'' analysis has been performed for different supporting stem geometries in order to optimize the shunt impedance and the R/Q for SCDTL cavities.

  The linac energy booster of the European ELI-NP proposal foresees the use of 12 traveling wave C-Band structures, 1.8 m long with a field phase advance per cell of 2pi/3 and a repetition rate of 100 Hz. Because of the multi-bunch operation, the structures have been designed with a damping of the HOM dipoles modes in order to avoid beam break-up (BBU). They are quasi-constant gradient structures with symmetric inputs couplers and a strong damping of the HOM in each cell. An optimization of the electromagnetic and mechanical design has been done to simplify the fabrication and to reduce their cost. In the paper we shortly review the whole design criteria and we illustrate the low and high power RF test results on prototypes that shown the feasibility of the structure realization and the effectiveness of the HOM damping.

  The room temperature RF structures in the ELI-NP Linac will operate in multi-bunch with high repetition rate (100 Hz). For these reasons they are subject to some kW of power dissipated on the internal cavities surfaces. The resulting thermal deformation of the cavities shapes could imply variations in their electromagnetic fields. To limit these effects and optimize the cooling design, a fully coupled ElectroMagnetic- Thermal-Mechanical analysis has been performed on the S-Band Radiofrequency Gun and on the C-Band multi-cell structures. In the paper the study done in Ansys Workbench with HFSS and Ansys Mechanical is reviewed
