Four Rod LHC Crab Cavity workshop

Four Rod LHC Crab Cavity workshop
The Cockcroft Institute hosted a special workshop on a novel new type of crab cavity for the LHC high luminosity upgrade on the 16th and 17th August. The “Four Rod LHC Crab Cavity workshop” organised by the Cockcroft Institute had speakers from CERN, JLab, TechX as well as speakers from the Cockcroft Institute. Talks covered EM design, multipactor, prototype testing, cavity manufacture and cryostat design. The workshop was a review of the current electromagnetic cavity design as well as a planning meeting on the manufacture of the first such cavities in Niobium and the design of a cryostat. The participants also had a tour of the DICC cryomodule assembly in the Engineering Technology Centre and the Security Futures Laboratory.
