  In order to better understand the contributions of the various physical processes to the surface resistance of superconductors the ODU Center for Accelerator Science is developing a half-wave resonator capable of operating between 325 MHz and 1.3 GHz. This will allow the measurement of the temperature and rf field dependence of the surface resistance on the same surface over the range of frequency of interest for particle accelerators and identify the various sources of power dissipation.

Three proof-of-principle compact crab cavity designs have been fabricated in bulk niobium and cold tested at their home labs, as a first validation step towards the High Luminosity LHC project. As a cross check, all three bare cavities have been retested at CERN, in order to cross check their performance, and cross-calibrate the CERN SRF cold test facilities. While achievable transverse deflecting voltage is the key performance indicator, secondary performance aspects derived from multiple cavity monitoring systems are also discussed. Temperature mapping profiles, quench detection, material properties, and trapped magnetic flux effects have been assessed, and the influence on performance discussed. The significant effort invested in developing expertise in preparation and testing of these crab cavities has already been fruitful for all partners, and more is to come within this ongoing program.

  The beam crabbing proposed for the LHC High Luminosity Upgrade requires two crabbing systems operating in both horizontal and vertical planes. In addition, the crabbing cavity design needs to meet strict dimensional constraints and functional specifications of the cavities. This paper presents the detailed electromagnetic design including em properties, multipole analysis, multipacting levels of the 400 MHz rf-dipole crabbing cavity.

  The High-Luminosity upgrade for the LHC relies on a set of RF Crab Cavities for reaching its goals. Two parallel concepts, the Double Quarter Wave (DQW) and the RF Dipole (RFD), are going through a comprehensive design process along with preparation of fabrication in view of extensive tests with beam in SPS. High Order Modes (HOM) couplers are critical in providing damping in RF cavities for operation in accelerators. HOM prototyping and fabrication have recently started at CERN. In this paper, an overview of the final shape is provided along with an insight in the mechanical and thermal analyses performed to validate the design of these critical components. Emphasis is also given to test campaigns, material selection, prototyping and initial fabrication that are aimed at fulfilling the highly demanding tolerances of the couplers.

  The LHC luminosity upgrade will involve the installation of thirty-two 400 MHz SRF crab cavities. The cavities have two variants known as the RF dipole and double quarter-wave crab cavities. Each cavity has a fundamental power coupler (FPC) at 400 MHz and two or three HOM couplers. Before integration onto the cavities it is necessary to condition the FPC, and to measure the transmission on the HOM couplers at low power to ensure the operate as designed, each requiring a special test box. The FPC test box should provide a high transmission between two couplers without creating high surface fields. The low power HOM test boxes should be terminated to a load such that the natural stop and pass-bands of the couplers are preserved allowing the reflection to me measured and compared to simulations. In addition, due to the possibility of high HOM power in the LHC crab cavities, the concept of creating a broadband high power HOM coupler test box in order to condition and test the couplers at high power has been investigated. The Rf design of all test boxes is presented and discussed.

  The HL-LHC project aims at increasing the LHC luminosity by a factor 10 beyond the design value. The installation of a set of RF Crab Cavities to increase bunch crossing angle is one of the key upgrades of the program. Two concepts, Double Quarter Wave (DQW) and RF Dipole (RFD) have been proposed and are being produced in parallel for test in the SPS beam before the next long shutdown of CERN accelerator’s complex. In the retained concept, two cavities are hosted in one single cryomodule, providing thermal insulation and interfacing with RF coupling, tuning, cryogenics and beam vacuum. This paper overviews the main design choices for the cryomodule and its different components, which have the goal of optimizing the structural, thermal and electro-magnetic behavior of the system, while respecting the existing constraints in terms of integration in the accelerator environment. Prototyping and testing of the most critical components, manufacturing, preparation and installation strategies are also described.
