Main technical issuesMany small issues with conditioning algorithm, software improvements typically solved in one or two days
Most time consuming activities affecting the availability of Xboxes
• Installation of new structures
• Regular maintenance and factory tests
• Radiation
• Klystrons failures

Klystron problems
17
Klystron went up to air when we vented RF
waveguide line to change structure
Visual inspection of klystron showed broken
window
CPI klystron serial #3 , removed recently due to gun arcs
and increased vacuum pressure in gun
Ion pump on gun breaking down above 3kV
Tube sent back to CPI for evaluation for repair

Radiation in the Xbox2/3 bunker
• Radiation needs to be verified • for all new structures
• for any new layout in the shielding
• Radiation measured inside the bunker and threshold applied
• Interesting changes with temperature
• Needs to be updated regularly to accommodate changes

XBOX2 can provide a nominal power of about 130MW which is enough to feed two structures, though right now only one is
installed
The goal is to split the line after the pulse compressor to feed two
structures (Superstructure)
Variable power splitter and phase shifter will be tested at high power
in line 1 and 2 of XBOX3
(From CLIC 2018)
Phase change after
power splitter, thus it
needs a phase shifter

Installation of the RF network
22
• Conditioning of the line without
superstructure to the highest peak power
• Variable power splitter removed du
mechanical problems in the piston
• A 3dB splitter is in place now
• Does not affect the program
• SLED pulse compressor not expected to
reach 120 MW
• Replaced by a BOC pulse compressor
provided by PSI

X-Box1 was the prototype – long overdue an upgrade.
• LLRF
• RF Generation – modulate using one PXI card rather than multiple existing steps in PFN.
• Data Acquisition – down mix to 200 MHz matching X-Box 2 & 3.
• IQ sampling to obtain phase and amplitude information.
• Keeping triggers and 3GHz master oscillator from CTF3 – Timing handled through PXI card replacing old CTF timing cards.
• Signals split and analysed by CLEAR and X-Boxes in parallel.
• More channels to account for superstructure with more signals.
• Software to be upgraded and brought in line with X-Box 2 & 3.
• Thorough characterisation of waveguide network and more accurate calibration techniques.

Conclusions
28
• All facilities working. Six simultaneous testing slots. One more to come.
• New upgrade going on in Xbox2 and planned in Xbox1
• Two Xbox3 testing slots moving to Australia
• Very productive year with lots of tests and improvements going on
• Testing CLIC baseline prototypes as well as new components in high power required for running the Xboxes and for CLIC 380GeV based on Klystrons
• Extended program in X-band thanks to ARIES Trans National Access activities
