STATUS OF THE SwissFEL C-BAND LINAC

SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK Many prototypes for the SwissFEL C-band Linac havebeen built and tested, and most of them show the desiredperformance. Meanwhile,welaunchedtheseriesproductionfor many components including the C-band structures, theBOC RF pulse compressors, and the wave-guide network.Twoprototypesolid-statemodulatorsareorderedandwillbedeliveredtoPSIinthesecondhalfofthisyear. Thenextstepsinclude validating the performance of the two modulatorsbefore the SwissFEL series can be ordered, and the test of acomplete C-band module in the high power RF test stand.
