The peak RF power required to reach the electric fields of 100 MV/m amounts to about 275 MW per active meter of accelerating structure. Not possible with klystrons. CLIC: The Compact LInear Collider Each sub-system pushes the state-of-the art in accelerator design Hence a novel power source, an innovative two-beam acceleration system, in which another beam, the drive beam, supplies energy to the main accelerating beam.

The TBL is designed to study and validate the drive beam stability during deceleration in CTF3. The TBL consists of a series of FODO lattice cells and a diagnostic section at the beginning and end of the line. Each cell is comprised of a quadrupole, a BPM (labeled as BPS) and a Power Extraction and Transfer Structure (PETS). 3D View of a TBL cell with the PETS tanks, the BPS’s and the quadrupoles 2.25 cm TBL beam time structure PCB with H and V Inductive sensors BPS: Beam Position Monitors for TBL BPS unit. Type: Inductive Pick-up (IPU) The BPS pick-ups main features are:  Position and also beam current monitoring  High dynamic range (30mA to 30A signals)  Broadband operation, captures the beam long pulse  Complex mechanics

BPS Prototypes, Series Production and Calibration Tests  A set of two BPS prototypes labeled as BPS1 and BPS2 with its associated electronics has been designed, constructed and characterized by the IFIC team with the collaboration of the CTF3 team at CERN (May 2008). BPS1 and its support installed in the TBL line First measurements of the BPS1 with beam in the TBL line (OASIS Viewer)  BPS1, jointly with its support and its amplifier, was installed successfully at TBL; BPS2 remained at IFIC as spare (July 2008).  BPS1 first beam measurements were carried out (August 2008). Wire set-up for BPS prototype characterization tests at CERN Labs  The BPS series production (15 units) started at IFIC labs (November 2008).  A new wire test bench for BPS series characterization tests was designed and built at IFIC (March 2009). BPS: Beam Position Monitors for TBL

The BPS Series Characterization Tests The Wire-Method Test Stand SensAT-v1.0: Control & DAQ app. front panel (LabVIEW) BPS: Beam Position Monitors for TBL Schematic view of the BPS Instrumentation setup, showing the sensitivity test main configuration, and the frequency and pulse tests configuration (dotted lines).  A PC running the application SensAT-v1.0 developed in LabVIEW acquire the {ΔH, ΔV, Σ} signals and the wire position managing for that, the VNA (or the scope for pulse tests) and the micromovers controller, respectively, through GPIB bus. The automation of the test equipment allowed us to program the measurements for each BPS unit of the series, what guaranteed high repeatability and reduced test time (favouring data taken).  The BPS under test will be moved by a motorized XY and rotatory micromovers to change the relative wire position with respect to the BPS; mounted on a pneumatic isolation work-station to avoid wire vibrations; the XY linear stages have a percision/resolution of 2/0.2 μm and 0.2/0.009 μrad for the rotatory stage. Main features of the test stand:

BPS Prototypes, Series Production and Calibration Tests (cont’d)  Tests for BPS2 and BPS3 carried out with the new wire set-up at IFIC. Less than 50um accuracy (March 2009).  Two more BPS units was delivered and installed, BPS2 and BPS3 both with new improved electronic PCBs (May 2009).  14 BPS units construction and assembly process finished (August 2009).  A LabVIEW application (SensAT v1.0) is developed for automatize the BPS series characterization tests in the new wire test bench (September 2009).  The 14 BPS units tests finishes, they are delivered to CERN and finally installed in TBL (October 2009).  All the BPS are validated successfully in TBL after first calibration tests (October 2009).

The BPS High Fequency Test BPS: Beam Position Monitors for TBL Scattering Parameters Test and First Results  The wall current HF components (above the BPS bandwidth) will flow through the inner surface of BPS vaccum pipe due to a Ti-coating, because it is the low inductance current path of the BPS. This limits the longitudinal impedance, Z ||, at high frequencies.  It is important to keep the real part of Z || limited, and as small as possible, since high Z || produces stronger wake- fields increasing so the beam instabilities.  Therefore, the aim of this test is to measure, Z ||, of the BPS beyond the beam bunching frequency, 12 GHz (microwave bands region), and check whether Z || is limited or not. The HF Coaxial Testbench  An ultra-relativitic electron beam can be emulated by a coaxial transmission line because the EM field of the beam coupled with the vacuum pipe propagates as a TEM mode like in a 50 Ω coax waveguide. 50 Ω matched cone transitions from 7mm APC connectors to 24mm BPS vacuum pipe diameter  The coaxial setup with a drift, instead of the BPS insertion, is used for reference measurements of S-params and must have as lowest as possible reflection cofficient, S11. S11; -20dB ~18 GHz S11; -40dB ~22 GHz Design and Simulations FEST3D simulation. Only TEM modes on propagation until 22GHz (useful setup BW). Other modes are excited beyond 22GHz. S-params measures of the reference setup. Mechanical realization deteriorates S11 but still below 20dB until 18GHz (7mm connectors BW). Freq Range:[DC-30GHz] Freq Range:[18MHz-30GHz] Real part of Z || determination until 30GHz from the S21 parameter measurement of the setup without and with the BPS inserted. Below 12 Ω until 14.5GHz Z divergence in the BPS at 6.7GHz [Under study]  In colaboration with: Prof. Benito Gimeno, Dpt. Física Aplicada-UV  Tests carried out at: European High Power Space Laboratory, VSC-ESA  Measurement of S-params of the HF setup with a VNA (Vector Network Analyzer) in the range of 18MHz to 30GHz.
