The CERN linear collider test facility

Description

In the CLIC scheme, the rf power at 30 GHz used for acceleration in the main linac is generated by a drive beam. This beam contains very short (1 mm) high-intensity (1012 e-) bunches with 10 mm spacing. The generation of such a beam requires the development of electron sources and bunch compressors. For this work a test facility is under construction. This paper describes work on photocathodes, laser systems, the rf gun, beam analysis, and acceleration to 60 MeV. Preliminary results and the current status are reported
