Such facility is equipped with a wide set of diagnostics for quench, field emission and magnetic flux expulsion studies and will offer a better understanding of cavity performance. At the same time, R&D on LB650 cavity prototypes is ongoing, in order to optimize the overall processing as well as the cavity Jacketing in view of the forthcoming series production with industry. This paper reports on the overall status of these experimental activities.
