Under the CERN-SLAC-KEK collaboration, we have been developing the high gradient TW accelerator structures. One of the main focuses is the feasibility study of CLIC accelerator structure at X-band. A high power facility, Nextef*, was established at KEK in 2007. A few structures have been tested, including an un-damped disk-loaded structure successfully tested beyond 100 MV/m, a heavily damped structure to be tested from late 2009 and a structure made in a quadrant configuration. These structures follow the same accelerating-mode RF parameter profile, called CLIC-C**, but show different features at high gradient operation. Various observables, such as dark current, vacuum activities, light emission, breakdown rate, and so on, are measured. We discuss the high gradient phenomena related to these observables and the possible improvement for stable operation at a higher gradient. * T. Higo et al., THP038, LINAC06,2006. |
