What is Xbox2?
• A new test bench for testing RF structures at 12GHz above 100MV/m– One structure/three months testing
• CPI VKX-8311A, 50MW klystron – First of this model under construction– Based in SLAC XL5 tube
• Scandinova 50Hz, 450kV modulator• Full time operation expected from next year.• Possible extension in 2014-15 (Xbox3) when
Linac4 klystrons/waveguides are installed

#2 50 MW klystron (XL-5, CPI) test stand will be able to deliver to the testing area up to 130 MW x 250 ns pulses at 50 Hz repetition rate. The overall power consumption is 43 kW.

• Bunker to be reused as such with small modifications– Chicane modified to minimize
waveguide length– Radiation measurements done
in Xbox1 indicate shielding shall be reinforced on axis
• Modulator uses existing water/electricity distribution
• Top-left area used by the EBIS source tests at least until the end of 2013 (TBC)

• Vacuum sectors for fast turn around– Loads an waveguide
network baked-out– Bake-out of the DUT
after installation
• Adjustable length for DUT– Single and double
structures
• Additional capacity for extra diagnostics

• First piece of Xbox2!!• Compact SLED type pulse compressor.• RF measurements and final tuning next week!!• Four more units required
– Review of the concept, fabrication, mechanic support etc., by the end of February.
Pulse compressor
‘’Simple” -60 dB directional coupler.
RF components procurement• Range of components
developed for X band• Design and prototyping ready
end 2012• First orders expected by the
end of May• New x-band flanges for Xbox3

LLRF• No beam. No synchronizing timing required.• Signal generation, diagnostics and control can be done within a NT PXI rack• Frequency multiplication and down conversion
– Successful tests in the lab• Temperature regulated rack (BI)

Status of the Xbox• Preparation of the site
– Final layout of the test stand. January 2013.– Cleaning-up the area.– Safety file preparation. RP shielding estimations done.– Shielding reinforcement .– Water system modification.– Electricity modification.– Cabling, Ethernet, compressed air.
• Installation– Modulator procurement. End of March 2013.– Klystron delivery. Delayed by 4 months!!– RF network and components. End of May 2013.– Vacuum network, pumps and valves. LLRF and controls.
• Commissioning– Modulator/klystron unit. – Conditioning of RF network surely 2014.
• Constrains– LS1 resources availability.– Water cut due to LS1 from mid-may until beginning 2014.

In summary
• New test facility preparation on-going– Site identified– Klystron and modulator under construction– RF components under procurement– Site preparation starting
• Still learning from Xbox1 and dog-leg experiences
• Preparing the way for Xbox3• X-band test capacity multiplied by 3!!
