Popis: There is a strong demand for accelerating structures able to achieve higher gradients and more compact dimensions for the next generation of linear accelerators for research, industrial and medical applications. In the framework of the Compact Light XLS project, an ultra high gradient higher harmonic RF accelerating structure is needed for the linearization of the longitudinal space phase. In order to determine the maximum sustainable gradients in normal conducting RF powered particle beam accelerators with extremely low probability of RF breakdown, investigations are in progress for using shorts accelerating structures in the Ka-band regime. We here report an electromagnetic design of a compact linearizer standing wave (SW) accelerating structure 8 cm long operating on $\pi$ mode, third harmonic with respect to the Linac frequency (11.994 GHz) with a 100 MV/m accelerating gradient and minimum surface electric field. Numerical electromagnetic studies have been performed by using the well known SuperFish, HFSS and CST computing software.
