Abstract

The aim of the CLIC Test Facility CTF3 at CERN is to prove the feasibility of key issues of the two-beam based Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) study. In particular, it addresses the generation of a drive beam with the appropriate time structure to produce high power RF pulses at a frequency of 30 GHz. The first major goal of CTF3 was to demonstrate, at low charge, the combination of successive bunch trains by RF deflectors in an isochronous ring. This bunch frequency multiplication has been successfully performed for various combination factors up to five and will be presented.
