Description
The design and manufacturing of X-band, high-gradient structures have steadily developed in recent times beyond their original use in high-energy physics. After years of development and collaborations, the initial phase of validation regarding the viability of the machines and their operation has moved to focus on a more practical area. This new area focuses on manufacturing techniques, materials and components and their applications in and within the industry. In this presentation, we will have an overview of three distinct projects: Smartcell AS, Halves AS, EU i.Fast 7.5 task. Among others, they all contribute to advancements in X-band accelerating structures, their fabrication methods and components. Collectively, all projects highlight the current traction of the X-band technology, gathering many aspects like fabrication challenges, brazing techniques, UP machining, and material analysis.
