MOPC012 | Fabrication of the CERN/PSI/ST X-band Accelerating Structures | 86 |
|
||
Within a collaboration between CERN, PSI and Sincrotrone Trieste (ST), a multi- purpose X-band accelerating structure has been designed and fabricated, used for high gradients tests in the CLIC structure testing program and in the FEL projects of PSI and ST. The structure has 72 cells with a phase advance of 5 pi/6 and includes upstream and downstream wakefield monitors to measure the beam alignment. The SLAC mode launcher design is used to feed it with RF power. Following the CERN fabrication procedures for high-gradient structure, diffusion bonding and brazing in hydrogen atmosphere is used to assemble the cells. After tuning, a vacuum bakeout is required before the feedthroughs for the wake field monitors are welded in as a last step. We describe the experiences gained in finishing the first two structures out of a series of four and present the results from the RF tuning and low level RF tests. | ||
TUZA01 | Commissioning and Initial Operation of FERMI@Elettra | 918 |

Funding: Work was supported in part by the Italian Ministry of University and Research under grants FIRB-RBAP045JF2 and FIRB-RBAP06AWK3. This article describes the design goals of FERMI@Elettra, reports on the goals achieved so far and shows how the facility development has been driven by the new research frontier of ultra-fast, extreme ultra-violet and soft X-ray science. The commissioning phases and first experience with user pilot experiments are presented and discussed. |
