Their implementation in high energy proton collider will be the first of its kind including the initial phase of technology validation in the SPS. This paper will primarily focus on the recent progress on the cavity and cryomodule developments and some of the main challenges. A few aspects related to the impact of crab cavities on the LHC beams are also addressed. PB - JACoW CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
