Description
The linac energy booster of the EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB project foresees the use of 16, 1 m long, travelling wave X-Band structures, with a field phase advance per cell of 2π/3 and a repetition rate of 100 Hz. To reach the 1 GeV required by the linac these structures have been designed to work at 60 MV/m. An optimization of the electromagnetic and mechanical design has been done to simplify the fabrication and to reduce their cost. An intense prototyping activity was carried out to optimize the construction and the brazing process of the structure. In the presentation we review the whole design of the structure, the RF module layout and the prototyping activity status with the first low power RF test results on the few cells RF prototype.
