    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

    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

    Status of the series HL-LHC DQW cryostating & infrastructure preparations

    Two series dressed DQW cavities have been qualified at CERN and are being prepared for shipment to STFC in the UK for string assembly. Meanwhile, since the completion of the RFD SPS cryomodule in October 2023, the UK team at Daresbury Laboratory have been preparing for the series DQW cryomodules; upgrading infrastructure, updating assembly tooling,
