WEPWO047 | A Double Quarter-Wave Deflecting Cavity for the LHC | 2408 |
|
||
Funding: The HiLumi LHC Design Study (a sub-system of HL-LHC) is cofunded by the European Commission within the Framework Programme 7 Capacities Specific Programme, Grant Agreement 284404 An asymmetric quarter wave deflecting cavity at 400 MHz for crab crossing in the LHC was already proposed in 2011. Due to improved cancellation of on-axis longitudinal field and the higher order components of the deflecting field, a symmetric version is now considered as the baseline for the quarter wave geometry. Relevant RF properties of the symmetric cavity are compared to the original asymmetric cavity. Some aspects of input coupler design, higher order modes, multipacting and frequency tuning are also addressed. |

WEPWO050 | Mechanical Study of 400 MHz Double Quarter Wave Crab Cavity for LHC Luminosity Upgrade | 2417 |
|

A prototype double quarter wave crab cavity was designed for the Large Hadron Collider luminosity upgrade. A finite element model is used to simulate the mechanical properties of the crab cavity. The results are presented and a reinforcement concept is proposed to meet the safety requirements. The reinforcement components, as well as the cavity, are presently being fabricated at Niowave Inc. | ||
