Description

The CLIC study has developed compact, high gradient, and energy efficient acceleration units as building blocks for a future high-energy, electron-based linear collider. The components to construct such units are now generally available in industry and their properties promise cost effective solutions for making electron-based linacs (already a crucial technology in many research, medical, and industrial facilities) more efficient and more compact.

The CLIC study has actively promoted and supported spin-off developments since its beginning. Examples include beam manipulation and diagnostic in research linacs, including FEL light sources; compact inverse Compton scattering X-ray sources; medical linacs, including FLASH radiotherapy; and compact neutron sources for material investigations. This presentation will introduce the X-band technologies developed as part of the CLIC study and discuss examples of compact linacs utilising such technology for different applications.
