Description
CTF3 tests the drive beam generation for CLIC, as well as the two-beam acceleration. Although the beam power and the damage potential are considerably lower than at CLIC, it can give important insight to considerations for the machine protection at CLIC.
The presentation will show the experience at CTF3 for different loss mechanisms and their consequences, as well as the results of a dedicated experiment to measure the effects of RF breakdown induced kicks on the beam, and will give a short description of interlocks to reduce losses.
