| A prototype Superconducting (RF) cryomodule, comprising multiple compact crab cavities is foreseen to realise a local crab crossing scheme for the “Hi-Lumi LHC”, a project launched by CERN to increase the luminosity performance of LHC. A cryomodule with two cavities will be initially installed and tested on the SPS drive accelerator at CERN to evaluate performance with high-intensity proton beams. A series of boundary conditions influence the design of the cryomodule prototype, arising from; the complexity of the cavity design, the requirement for multiple RF couplers, the close proximity to the second LHC beam pipe and the tight space constraints in the SPS and LHC tunnels. As a result, the design of the helium vessel and the cryomodule has become extremely challenging. This paper assesses some of the critical cryogenic and engineering design requirements and describes an optimised cryomodule solution for the tests with SPS. | |||
| THP036 | Design of a 4 Rod Crab Cavity Cryomodule System for HL-LHC | cavity, cryomodule, HOM, impedance | 982 |
|
|||
| The LHC requires compact SRF crab cavities for the HL-LHC and 3 potential solutions are under consideration. One option is to develop a 4 rod cavity utilising for quarter wave rods to maintain a dipole field. The cavity design has been developed including power and LOM/HOM couplers have been developed, as well as a conceptual design of a complete cryomodule system including ancillaries and this is presented. The cryomodule is designed to allow easy access during testing and uses a novel support system and contains the opposing beamline section to fit inside the LHC envelope. | |||

Funding: Research supported by EU FP7 HiLumi LHC – No. 284404, and by US DOE through Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 and the US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP). The crab cavity program for LHC luminosity upgrade envisages the testing of at least one of the three competing crab cavities in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) of CERN by 2016. This paper presents the design optimization of a Double Quarter Wave Crab Cavity (DQWCC) prototype suited for testing in SPS. |

Funding: This work is supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with LARP and the U.S. DOE, and supported by EU FP7 HiLumi LHC - Grant Agreement 284404. A double quarter wave crab cavity was designed for the Large Hadron Collider luminosity upgrade. Starting from the analytical calculation of simplified RLC circuit, a compact higher order mode filter is developed for this cavity. Finite element simulation results are presented. The design concept is generic and can easily be adapted to other cavities. |

| Three novel superconducting RF crab cavity designs proposed for the LHC luminosity upgrade have rapidly progressed. First Niobium prototypes are reaching close to the design performance and beyond. The highlights of the RF test results from the prototypes along with design modifications for initial beam tests in the SPS are presented. The status of the cryomodule development, integration into the SPS and the beam tests in view of validating the crab cavity system for LHC upgrade are addressed. | |||

| Recent interests in designing compact deflecting and crabbing structures for future accelerators and colliders have initiated the development of novel rf structures. The superconducting rf-dipole cavity is one of the first compact designs with attractive properties such as higher gradients, higher shunt impedance, the absence of lower order modes and widely separated higher order modes. Two rf-dipole designs of 400 MHz and 499 MHz have been designed, fabricated and tested as proof-of-principle designs of compact deflecting and crabbing cavities for the LHC high luminosity upgrade and Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade. The first rf tests have been performed on the rf-dipole geometries at 4.2 K and 2.0 K in a vertical test assembly with excellent results. The cavities have achieved high gradients with high intrinsic quality factors, and multipacting levels were easily processed. | |||
