  The Diamond pre-injector linac uses two 5.2 m DESY linac II-type accelerating structures to generate a 100 MeV electron beam suitable for injection into the booster synchrotron. The structures are powered independently by two high-power S-band klystrons and are designed to operate at 3 GHz. Higher order modes up to 14 GHz induced by beam in unpowered accelerating and bunching structures have been directly measured using directional couplers in the high-power waveguide network. These modes are compared with an electromagnetic simulation of the structures. The negative impact of higher-order wakes on the bunch trains used at Diamond is considered, and the use of the multipole field measurement for alignment of the beam to the structure is investigated.

  An S-band photocathode electron gun designed to operate at repetition rates up to 1 kHz CW has been designed at Diamond and manufactured at FMB*. The first test results of this gun are presented. Low-power RF measurements have been carried out to verify the RF design of the gun, and high-power conditioning and RF test has begun. Initial high power tests have been carried out at 5 Hz repetition rate using the S-band RF plant normally used to power the Diamond linac: the benefits and limitations of this approach are considered, together with plans for further testing.
