The LHC high luminosity project envisages the use of the crabbing technique for increasing and levelling the LHC luminosity. Double-Quarter Wave (DQW) resonators are compact cavities especially designed to meet the technical and performance requirements for LHC beam crabbing. A couple of DQW crab cavities are under preparation and will be tested with beam in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) of CERN by 2017. This paper describes the design and prototyping of DQW crab cavities for the SPS test.

  The tertiary collimators (TCTs) in the LHC, installed in front of the experiments, in standard operation intercept fractions of 103 halo particles. However, they risk to be hit by high-intensity primary beams in case of asynchronous beam dump. TCT damage thresholds were initially inferred from results of destructive tests on a TCT jaw, supported by numerical simulations, assuming simplified impact scenarios with one single bunch hitting the jaw with a given impact parameter. In this paper, more realistic failure conditions, including a train of bunches and taking into account the full collimation hierarchy, are used to derive updated damage limits. The results are used to update the margins in the collimation hierarchy and could thus potentially have an influence on the LHC performance.
