A prototype compact SRF deflecting cavity has been manufactured for LHC. The base of the cavity has been machined out of large grain niobium ingot to allow the manufacture of the complex rod profile. Stiffening rods have been used to increase the mechanical strength of the outer can. Details of the cavity design and manufacture will be discussed.

  The Versatile Linear Accelerator (VELA) at Daresbury Laboratory will deliver low energy (5/6 MeV) short bunches (~40 fs) to a number of industrial experimental stations and for scientific research. In order to measure the longitudinal profile of the bunch an S-band transverse deflecting cavity will be inserted into the beamline. A transverse kick of around 5 MV is required therefore a 9 cell design has been chosen. As part of the design iteration a three-cell prototype has been built. Frequency measurements have been performed on the prototype cavity as well as Coordinate Measuring Machine to confirm that the dimensions are to the required design tolerances. Subsequently, further modelling has been performed to improve and refine the design of the 9-cell cavity, to ensure that the frequency of the final design is within the tuning range of the water thermal control system and that the field flatness requirement can be obtained.

  The conceptual design of CLARA, a novel FEL test facility focussed on the generation of ultrashort photon pulses with extreme levels of stability and synchronisation is described. The ultimate aim of CLARA is to experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, that sub-coherence length pulse generation with FELs is viable. The results will translate directly to existing and future X-Ray FELs, enabling them to generate attosecond pulses, thereby extending the science capabilities of these intense light sources. This paper will describe the design of CLARA, pointing out the flexible features that will be incorporated to allow multiple novel FEL schemes to be proven.

The first prototype crab cavity with the 4-rod geometry has undergone surface treatment and cold testing. Due to the complex geometry and unique fabrication procedure, RF validation of the field at beyond the nominal operating voltage at a sufficiently high Q0 is an important pre-requiste. Preliminary results of the first cold tests are presented along with cavity performance at different stages of the cavity processing is described.
