CLIC two-beam module design and integration

Abstract The Compact LInear Collider (CLIC) is based on twobeam acceleration concept currently developed at CERN. The RF power is generated by a high-current electronbeam, called Drive Beam, (DB) running parallel to the Main Beam (MB). The DB is decelerated in dedicated power extraction structures (PETS) and the generated RF power is transferred via waveguides to the accelerating structures (AS). To facilitate the matching of the beams, components are assembled in 2-m long modules of few different types. Special modules are needed in damping regions or to contain dedicated instrumentation and vacuum equipment. The module design and integration has to cope with challenging requirements from the different technical systems. This paper reports the status of the engineering design and related technical issues.
