=== Test facilities ===
The main [[technology]] challenges of the CLIC accelerator design have been successfully addressed in various test facilities. The Drive Beam production and recombination, and the two-beam acceleration concept were demonstrated at the [[CTF3|CLIC Test Facility 3 (CTF3)]]. [[X-band]] high-power [[klystron]]-based RF sources were built in stages at the high-gradient X-band test facility (XBOX), CERN.<ref name=Hamdi_XBandPowerSource_CERN-2012>

}}</ref> These facilities provide the RF power and infrastructure required for the conditioning and verification of the performance of CLIC accelerating structures, and other X-band based projects. Additional X-band high-gradient tests are being carried out at the NEXTEF facility at [[KEK]] and at [[SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory|SLAC]], a new test stand is being commissioned at [[Tsinghua University]] and further test stands are being constructed at [[Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati|INFN Frascati]] and SINAP in Shanghai.<ref name=Burrows_Wuensch_Argyropoulos_XBandRF_CLICL_CERN-2017>
