Funding: This work was supported by Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC0276SF00515 This paper describes the engineering design and installation of the new X-band transverse deflecting cavity installed downstream of the FEL undulator at the LCLS. This is a companion submission to the paper “Commissioning the New LCLS X-Band Transverse Deflecting Cavity with Femtosecond Resolution” also presented at this conference. The project dealt with the challenge of installing a new high-power RF system in the undulator tunnel of the LCLS, outside of the linac tunnel itself and its accelerator engineering infrastructure. A description of the system design, installation, alignment, cooling, controls, vacuum, waveguide, low level RF, klystron and modulator systems for the XTCAV is given, with emphasis on achieving the performance goals necessary to achieve femtosecond resolution. |

The phenomenon that currently prevents achieving high accelerating gradients in high energy accelerators such as the CLIC linear collider is electrical breakdown at very high electrical field. The ongoing experimental work is trying to benchmark the theoretical models focusing on the physics of vacuum breakdown which is responsible for the discharges. The CLIC collaboration has commissioned a dedicated 12 GHz test-stand to validate the feasibility of accelerating structures and observe the characteristics of the RF discharges and their eroding effects on the structure. A versatile system for detection of the dark and breakdown currents and light emission is being developed for the test-stand. It consists of a collimation system with an external magnetic spectrometer for measurement of the spatial and energy distributions of the electrons emitted from the acceleration structure during a single RF pulse. These measurements can be correlated with e.g. the location of the breakdown inside the structure using information from the incident, reflected and transmitted RF powers giving a complete picture of the vacuum breakdown phenomenon. | |||
