HL-LHC Crab Cavity Cryomodules – UK Collaboration Status
The first LHC crab cavity cryomodule build with the two qualified cavities from CERN is progressing well at Daresbury Laboratory. The DQW cryomodule is the first of four series cryomodules being built by the UK collaboration, following the RFD-SPS delivery, with a fifth DQW cryomodule to be built by CERN. Since the RFD build, the…

Status of the series HL-LHC DQW cryostating & infrastructure preparations
Two series dressed DQW cavities have been qualified at CERN and are being prepared for shipment to STFC in the UK for string assembly. Meanwhile, since the completion of the RFD SPS cryomodule in October 2023, the UK team at Daresbury Laboratory have been preparing for the series DQW cryomodules; upgrading infrastructure, updating assembly tooling,…
