Abstract | CLIC will require two crab cavities to align the beams to provide an effective head-on collision with a 20 mdeg crossing angle at the interaction point. An X-band system has been chosen for the crab cavities. Three prototype cavities have been developed in order to test the high power characteristics of these cavities. One cavity has been made by UK industry and one has been made using the same process as the CLIC main linac in order to gain understanding of breakdown behaviour in X-band deflecting cavities. The final cavity incorporates mode-damping waveguides on each cell which will eventually contain SiC dampers. This paper details the design, manufacture and preparation of these cavities for testing and a report on their status. |
