| The superconducting crab cavities for KEKB were
constructed and installed into KEKB electron-positron
collider in January 2007. After cool-down of the crab
cavities, the commissioning of the crab cavities started in
February 2007 and continued until end of June. Effective
head on collision of electron and positron has been
achieved successfully for the first time during this spring
operation of the KEKB. A luminosity of above
10^34/cm2/sec could be obtained at high beam currents
operation (1.3A in the low energy positron and 0.7A in
high energy electron). | |

| Two Crab cavities were fabricated at KEK in 2006.
After the completion of the assembly, a horizontal test is
normally carried out for a superconducting cavity in KEK.
The horizontal test is an overall test for the cavity without
a beam. Both cavities achieved above an operational kick
voltage of 1.4MV. Although the HER (High Energy Ring
for electron) Crab cavity had no trouble, the LER (Low
Energy Ring for positron) had a trouble of tuner operation.
Due to the limited time, both cavities were installed into
the tunnel at the beginning of Jan. in 2007. After the beam
commissioning, it was found that this problem was not so
much significant for the operation. The LER Crab cavity
is being operated above 1A at present. | |

| MHI has supplied various types of superconducting
cavities mainly to KEK in Japan since TRISTAN project
started at 1977. We have a lot of experience in the
development of superconducting cavities for Japanese
projects. And we have the technology to design and
fabricate the superconducting cavities. We can present
some ideas to improve the quality, cost, and delivery time
of the superconducting cavities based on our experience.
We designed and fabricated four STF-Baseline
superconducting cavities with frequency tuners, helium
jackets, according to KEK specifications. To decrease a
cavity deformation occurring due to Lorenz force, rigid
jacket systems including tuner were designed. By
fabricating four cavities, some problems and
improvements in the next step are cleared. Some ideas to
reduce the fabrication cost are proposed in this paper. | |

| The RF input couplers for KEKB crab cavities were designed,
fabricated and installed. The input coupler is shown
in figure 1. The RF input coupler has a ceramic RF window
and a T-stub structure. The shape of T-stub structure
and length of the probe were decided using RF simulation
program. The RF window and the doorknob translator may
cause some reflection. The RF windows for superconducting
accelerator cavities for KEKB (KEKB-SCC) and the
doorknob translators for TRISTAN were used. According
to the procedure of assembling the RF input coupler
for KEKB-SCC, they were rinsed and assembled. Aging
was done individually. After that, they were installed into
cryostats for crab cavities. These cryostats were installed
to KEKB and have been working. Three input couplers,
which are included for prototype cryostat, were prepared. | |
