Crab cavities are adapted as the baseline design for the LHC HiLumi upgrade to achieve head-on beam-beam collisions for further improvement in luminosity. A 400-MHz compact RF dipole crab cavity design was developed by a joint effort between Old Dominion University and SLAC under the support of US LARP program. This design has shown very favorable RF parameters and can fit into the available beamline spacing for either vertical and horizontal crabbing schemes. A niobium prototype cavity based on such a design has been manufactured for vertical test. In addition, there are stringent wakefield requirements that needed to be met for such a cavity in order to preserve the quality of the circulating beams. In this paper, we will discuss different damping schemes for such a compact design and present the HOM coupler designs to meet the damping requirements.

  Over the years the superconducting parallel-bar design has evolved into an rf-dipole cavity with improved properties. The new rf-dipole design is considered for number of deflecting and crabbing applications. Some of those applications are the 499 MHz rf separator system for the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade, 400 MHz crabbing cavity system for the proposed LHC high luminosity upgrade, and 750 MHz crabbing cavity for the medium energy electron-ion collider in Jefferson Lab. In this paper we present the optimized rf design in terms of rf performance including rf properties, higher order mode properties, multipacting, multipole expansion for the above mentioned applications.
