Description

The CLIC project aims to establish an accelerating gradient of 100MV/m within novel high gradient X-band accelerating structures, this leads to surface electric fields on the order of 220MV/m. In this context, CERN have developed high power X-band RF test stands (Xboxes) to test the prototype structures for CLIC at high power. A summary and analysis of recent RF results from the test stands will be presented.
