Crab cavity and RF developments across collaborations
Crab cavity and RF developments across collaborations Strides are being taken for the RFD and DQW crab cavities and cryomodules, with challenges being tackled and overcome across the collaborations, and more deliveries to CERN imminent. Important progress has also been made for the high-power RF components. RF Dipole Cryomodule for SPS Tests (CERN) The Radio

Prototype RFD cavity tests at TRIUMF: Status and progress with TCM0 and preparation for TCM1 activities
Major expenditures have been completed in time to spend the allocated funds and procure all components required for the cryostating activities of the 5 series RFD cryomodules. In February 2025, TRIUMF received a prototype RFD cavity (TCM0) from AUP after it had been tested at JLab with both warm and cold characterisations. The cavity passed

Progress with series production of RFD cavities and preparations for cryostating
Accelerator Upgrade Program (AUP) cavity status and preparations at JLab Work is progressing well for the crab cavity portion of the US contribution to the HL-LHC Project. All contracts are in place with the industrial supplier for the manufacturing of the RF-dipole (RFD) crab cavities, where activities have now reached peak production after years of
