چکیده
The aim of the latest CLIC test facility CTF3, built at CERN by an international collaboration, is to prove the main feasibility issues of the CLIC two-beam acceleration technology. Several of the main goals have been already achieved in the past years, like the full-loading linac operation mode and the delay loop principle. During 2008 also the combiner ring concept has been experimentally proven and the recombined beam has been used to generate the RF power. In parallel in the fall of the year also the probe beam line commissioning had started. Presented at the Particle Accelerator Conference (PAC09) May 4-8 2009, Vancouver, Canada Geneva, Switzerland, 16 October 2009 ACHIEVEMENTS IN CTF3 AND COMMISSIONING STATUS S. Bettoni, E. Adli, R. Corsini, A. E. Dabrowski, S. Doebert, D. Manglunki, P. Skowronski, F. Tecker CERN, Geneva, Switzerland.

CERN is working on a new particle accelerators that will require a very large number of power converters. In that view, the reliability of the whole powering will be a major issue. The use of a redundancy and modularity may help increasing the overall machine availability. However, the reliability of the redundancy system must be high enough to add a significant improvement when compared to sim...

Lord Rutherford was the ‘god-father’ of accelerators; he challenged future generations of accelerator builders to invent reliable machines which could accelerate particles to higher and higher energies. In his inaugural presidential address to the Royal Society in London in 1928, he said ‘I have long hoped for a source of positive particles more energetic than those emitted from natural radioac...
