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.

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.
