Description
The IFIC RF laboratory will perform the conditioning and high power tests of S-band accelerating structures designed for hadron-therapy with the purpose of investigate their high gradient behaviour. The facility is based on the scheme of the Xbox-3, a X-band test facility at CERN, adapted to operate in S-band. Two medium peak-power (7.5 MW) and high repetition rate (400 Hz) S-band klystrons have been combined to generated the required power on two testing lines. The test stands installation has been finished and commissioning of the laboratory equipment is progressing. This document will present the latest results and progresses of the IFIC RF laboratory.
