Description
The Two-beam Test Stand (TBTS) is part of the CTF3 complex at CERN and a unique facility which is designed to test key issues of the two-beam acceleration concept. In particular the power extraction structures (PETS) and the acceleration structures will be tested with beam. The installation of the beam lines was completed this Spring and in September the first drive beam passed all the way through to the beam dump. In October, a PETS structure was installed in the drive beam line. We report on design and commissioning of the facility and present results from the first runs with a PETS structure.
