XBOX1 operator displays Automatically controls incident power to structure. Short term: +10kW steps every 6 min and -10kW per BD event. Long Term: Measures BDR (1MPulse moving avg.) and will stop power increase if BDR too high. • Intelligent LLRF control and acquisition system: • Automatized structure conditioning protocol provides operation at the prescribed saturated breakdown trip rate. • Online adjustment of the PC individual cavities frequencies to guaranty low reflection and flat top of the compressed pulse. • Logging all breakdown events and other conditioning statuses.

100 MV/m ~2x10-5BrD/pulse 05.12.2013 ~7x10-5BrD/pulse XBOX1 Full-fledged CLIC accelerating structure TD26R05CC build by CERN is successfully processed in XBOX1 up to 107 MW/m unloaded accelerating gradient at 250 ns pulses . We have started now study of breakdown rate evolution at the fixed (100 MV/m) gradient. CLIC

Peak power: 6 MW Beam Voltage: 150 kV Beam current: 90 A Average power: 12.4 kW Efficiency: 47.5% • 4 turn-key 6 MW, 11.9942 GHz power stations (klystron/modulator) have been ordered from industry. • The first unit is scheduled to arrive at CERN in October 2014. The full delivery will be completed before July 2015.
Modified K1 ScandiNova modulator • Doubled width oil tank. To facilitate installation of the Toshiba klystron which has rather wide ( 0.7 m) solenoid. • Additional cabinet (comes for free). It can be used for Klystron RF driver amplifier, Solenoid PS, Ion Pump PS etc. • New Control System that will simplify integration of external parts and offer a lot of new features. • Flexible design (klystrons positioning) to minimize the length of RF waveguide circuit: The illustration of new 2 cabinet concept that will be adopted for 6 MW Toshiba klystrons. Modulator parameters (max.) for 6 MW Toshiba klystron 1.6 m Peak RF power: 8.0 MW Pulsed voltage: 175 kV Pulse current: 115 A Average power: 50 kW Pulse length (flat): 5sec Rep. rate: 400 HZ 1.3m
