The Two-Beam Test-Stand in CTF 3

The acceleration concept for CLIC [1], based on the twobeam acceleration scheme, where the 30 GHz RF power needed to accelerate the high energy beam is generated by a high-intensity but rather low energy drive beam, will be tested in the two-beam test-stand in CTF3. There RFstructures will be tested at full pulse length. The extreme power levels of up to 640 MW warrant a careful diagnostic system to analyze RF breakdown by observing the effect on both probeand drive-beam but also the RF signals and secondary effects such as emitted light, vibrations, vacuum, temperatures. We describe the experimental setup and the diagnostic system planned to be installed in CTF3 for 2007.
