Transition to deployment phase approaching: update on project status
Impressive progress has been made across the entire collaboration, with production progress vital as we continue to progress towards deployment in the LHC tunnel. The upcoming Collaboration Meeting will be an exciting time to meet just after the start of deinstallation of the machine, to reflect on what we have achieved so far and what…

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…

Prototype RFD cavity tests at TRIUMF: Status and progress with TCM0 and preparation for TCM1 activities
Major expenditures have been completed in time to spend the allocated funds and procure all components required for the cryostating activities of the 5 series RFD cryomodules. In February 2025, TRIUMF received a prototype RFD cavity (TCM0) from AUP after it had been tested at JLab with both warm and cold characterisations. The cavity passed…

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…

Update of project status
The HL-LHC project has continued to make impressive progress since the annual meeting in Genoa at the end of 2024. In particular I would like to highlight here the celebrations for the first Beam Screen being completed at CERN, the successful repair of the prototype RFD Crab Cavity cryo-module and its on-time installation in the…

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…

Overview of collaboration status
The HL-LHC collaboration office continues to update existing and put in place new agreements. Since the beginning of 2023 we have been busy updating UK Phase 1 agreements allowing for the final invoicing to take place. Many of the planned deliverables were delayed during COVID so several dates for the expected invoices and a few…

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…

Update on Collaboration agreements and report from the Collaboration Board at the last Annual Meeting
The still unresolved COVID-19 pandemic, which defined the year 2020, has unsurprisingly had an impact on our collaborations. However, the impact appears to be contained to a few months, with delays that can be reabsorbed and are also partially mitigated by the decision taken after the 2019 C&SR to delay the start of LS3 by…

Update on Collaboration Agreements and Report from the Collaboration Board at the Last Annual Meeting
After the last Collaboration Meeting in Fermilab in October 2019, there have been several important developments in collaboration matters. The 2019 LIU/HL-LHC Cost and Schedule Review outcome was very positive with inclusion in the baseline of the various pending options that were all items to be procured via collaboration agreements. That allowed the settlement of…
