Crab cavity and RF developments across collaborations
Strides are being taken for the RFD and DQW crab cavities and cryomodules, with challenges being tackled and overcome across the collaborations, and more deliveries to CERN imminent. Important progress has also been made for the high-power RF components. RF Dipole Cryomodule for SPS Tests (CERN) The Radio Frequency Dipole (RFD) cryomodule in the SPS…

Progress of the in-kind contribution from the USA for series production and testing of radio-frequency dipole (RFD) cavities for the HL-LHC
The series production of bare and jacketed Radio-Frequency Dipole (RFD) cavities is progressing steadily at Zanon Research & Innovation Srl (ZRI) within the framework of the HL-LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project (AUP), coordinated by Fermilab. Manufacturing is proceeding at full capacity with multiple production activities – including cavity fabrication, chemical processing, and cleanroom assembly – executed…

Progress with series production of RFD cavities and preparations for cryostating
Accelerator Upgrade Program (AUP) cavity status and preparations at JLab Work is progressing well for the crab cavity portion of the US contribution to the HL-LHC Project. All contracts are in place with the industrial supplier for the manufacturing of the RF-dipole (RFD) crab cavities, where activities have now reached peak production after years of…

Start of series production for RFD CC at Zanon
In the framework of HL-LHC AUP in the US, last year two prototype RF Dipole Crab Cavities manufactured in Italy by Zanon Research & Innovation were validated successfully at FNAL through cold tests at 2K. One prototype reached a deflecting field voltage of 5.8 MV which is 40% above acceptance and 70% above nominal. The…
