Facility for experimental investigation of a copper cavity lifetime under multiple action of 30 GHz power pulses is now created by the collaboration of CLIC team (CERN) [1], FEM groups of JINR (Dubna) and IAP RAS (Nizhny Novgorod). Design of the test cavity, estimation of the operating parameters of the FEM oscillator and the RF power transmission line was already reported at FEL’03 [2]. Last year was devoted to the achievement of the design parameters of all the elements of the facility. We have developed the equipment and the procedure of RF transmission line adjustment, improved the stability of the linac power supplies, created the new system of data acquisition. Start of the full-scale experiments is planned to the end of 2004.
