| Abstract |
We report the status of the development of an High Power RF Laboratory in X-Band called TEX (TEst-stand for X-Band). TEX is part of the LATINO (Laboratory in Advanced Technologies for INnOvation) initiative that is ongoing at the Frascati National Laboratories (LNF) of the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) that covers many different areas focused on particle accelerator technologies. TEX is a RF test facility based on solid-state K400 modulator from ScandiNova with a 50MW class X-band (11.996 GHz) klystron tube model vkx 8311a operating at 50 Hz. This RF source will operate as resource for test and research programs such as the RF breakdown on RF waveguide components as well as high power testing of accelerating structures for future high gradient linear accelerator such as EuPRAXIA and CLIC. The high power testing will be performed in a dedicated brand-new bunker that has been recently built. RF system, vacuum controls and safety equipments are currently being installed. The first accelerating structure testing is scheduled by beginning 2022. In this document design and tests for all the sub-systems of the facility will be presented and discussed.
