DQW Series Production Status – CERN & Research Instruments (RI)
The series DQW cavities manufactured at RI (eight cavities) and CERN (two cavities) have progressed significantly over the period of 2024-25. Two cavities, one from RI and one from CERN, were fully qualified with higher order mode (HOM) couplers in their final state well beyond the specification (4.7 MV) and sent to UK-STFC for cryostating…

HL-LHC Crab Cavity Cryomodules – UK Collaboration Status
The first LHC crab cavity cryomodule build with the two qualified cavities from CERN is progressing well at Daresbury Laboratory. The DQW cryomodule is the first of four series cryomodules being built by the UK collaboration, following the RFD-SPS delivery, with a fifth DQW cryomodule to be built by CERN. Since the RFD build, the…
