Currently a X band traveling wave accelerator structure is fabricated in a collaboration between CERN and PSI. It will compensate nonlinearities in the longitudinal phase space at the injector prototype of the PSI-XFEL, whereas CERN will use it to test break down limits and rates in the high gradient regime. Due to the modest beam energies, the operation in the PSI-XFEL injector is quite sensitive to transverse wakes destroying the beam emittance. In that respect, the structure will use an active monitoring of the beam to structure alignment and include two wake field monitors coupling to the transverse higher order modes. These allow steering the beam to the structure axis giving a higher precision than mechanical alignment strategies. Localized offsets due to bends or tilts have individual signatures in the frequency spectrum, which in turn are correlated with different delays in the signal envelope. By taking advantage of this combined with the single bunch mode at the PSI-XFEL, the use of a relatively simple detector type RF front end should be possible, which will not only show beam offsets, but also higher order misalignments as tilts in the structure.

The two-beam acceleration scheme foreseen for CLIC and the associated radio-frequency (RF) components will be tested in the Two-beam Test Stand (TBTS) at CTF3, CERN. Of special interest is the performance of the power extraction structures (PETS) and the acceleration structures as well as the stability of the beams in the respective structures. After the recent completion of the TBTS, the first 12 GHz PETS has been tested with beam. Up to 30MW of RF power was extracted from a 5A electron beam, using so called recirculation of the RF power inside the PETS. The TBTS instrumentation, including inductive beam position monitors, allows precise measurement of beam parameters before and after the PETS as well as RF power and phase. Measurements of transverse kicks, energy loss and RF power with recirculation are discussed and compared with estimations, including first measurements of RF pulse shortening probably due to break down.
