	The planned high luminosity upgrade to LHC will utilise crab cavities to rotate the beam in order to increase the luminosity in the presence of a finite crossing angle. A compact design is required in order for the cavities to fit between opposing beam-lines. In this paper we discuss we discuss one option for the LHC crab cavity based on a 4 rod TEM deflecting cavity. Due to the large transverse size of the LHC beam the cavity is required to have a large aperture while maintaining a constant transverse voltage across the aperture. The cavity has been optimised to minimise the variation of the transverse voltage while keeping the peak surface electric and magnetic fields low for a given kick. This is achieved while fitting within the strict design space of the LHC. The variation of deflecting voltage across the aperture has been studied numerically and compared with numerical and analytical estimates of other deflecting cavity types. Performance measurements an aluminium prototype of this cavity are presented and compared to the simulated design.

The ESS linac delivers 5 MW of power to the target at 2.5 GeV, with a nominal current of 50 mA. The 120 high beta elliptical cavities, which operate at a frequency of 704 MHz and accelerate protons from 600 MeV to 2.5 GeV, account for more than half of the total number of rf cavities in the ESS linac and three quarter of the total beam power needed.

The European Spallation Source is an intergovernmental project building a multidisciplinary research laboratory based upon the world’s most powerful neutron source. The main facility will be built in Lund, Sweden. Construction is expected to start around 2013 and the first neutrons will be produced in 2019. The ESS linac delivers 5 MW of power to the target at 2.5 GeV, with a nominal current of 50 mA.
