	Funding: This work was supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. DOE. The future electron ion collider eRHIC adopts large crossing angle (22 mrad) to allow fast separation of two beams in the ring-ring scheme. Crab cavities are required to recover the luminosity from geometric losses. Initial calculation shows that the frequency of the cavities for the ion beam is no more than 336MHz. In this paper, we discuss the crab cavity related lattice parameters for both ion and electron beams in ring-ring design, the frequency choice, and the cavity design considerations.

	As part of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) project, 16 crab cavities are to be installed in the LHC in 2025. The two crab cavity designs are the Double Quarter Wave (DQW) and Radio Frequency Dipole (RFD). Preliminary beam tests in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) are planned for both cavity types, with the DQW scheduled for testing in 2018. In reference to to Higher Order Mode (HOM) damping, the DQW has three identical on-cell HOM couplers. These HOM couplers provide a band-stop response at the frequency of the fundamental mode and act as a transmission path for the cavity HOMs. For the SPS cavity design, several geometric constraints exist. These give rise to dimensional limitations which in-turn impose limitations on the RF performance of the HOM couplers. As such, for the LHC assembly, the HOM coupler design is re-visited to take into account the relaxed geometric limitations, hence allowing the feasibility of an increased RF performance to be investigated. In addition to the RF performance, several geometric alterations were incorporated to ease manufacturing processes, tolerances and costs.

TUPB001	338 MHz Crab Cavity Design for the eRHIC Hadron Beam	382

	Funding: Work supported by the US Department of Energy via Brookhaven Science Associates LLC under contract no. DE-AC02-98CH10886. Crab crossing is an essential mechanism to restore high luminosity and avoid synchro-betatron resonances in the electron-hadron collider eRHIC. The current ring-ring eRHIC design envisages a set of crab cavities operating at 338 MHz. This set of cavities will provide the crabbing kick to the hadron beam of eRHIC. Double-Quarter Wave (DQW) cavities are compact, superconducting RF deflecting cavities appropriate for crab crossing. This paper summarizes the main design requirements and presents an optimized RF design of a DQW cavity for the crabbing system of the ring-ring eRHIC hadron beam.

TUPB100	Determining BCP Etch Rate and Uniformity in High Luminosity LHC Crab Cavities	635

	The compact SRF Crab Cavities required for HL-LHC have complex geometries making prediction of average and local BCP etch rates a difficult task. This paper describes a series of experiments and simulations used to determine the etch uniformity and rate within these structures. An initial experiment was conducted to determine the correlation between etch rate and flow rate in a Nb tube. These results were then incorporated into Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations of acid flow in the Double Quarter Wave (DQW) cavity to predict etch rates across the surface and allow optimisation of the BCP setup. There were several important findings from the work; one of which is that the flow rate in the relatively large body of the cavity is predominantly driven by natural convection due to the exothermic reaction. During BCP processing of the DQW cavity a significant difference in etching was observed between upper and lower horizontal surfaces which was mitigated by etching in several orientations. Two DQW cavities manufactured by CERN have received a heavy BCP of 200μm followed by 2 light BCPs of 30μm each with subsequent vertical cold tests showing performance exceeding specification.
