Structure studies for the CERN Linear Collider CLIC

Each linac proposed for the CERN Linear Collider (CLIC) is composed of 50000 25-cm-long-accelerator sections operating at 29 GHz with gradients of 80 MV/m to produce beam energies of 1 TeV. Basic structure parameters have been established, and fabrication of these sections by the electroforming and machine-and-braze techniques is being investigated. Results obtained from various prototype test pieces are given and discussed.<>
