Description
The HL-LHC beams are accelerated to their nominal energy of 7 TeV by the existing 400 MHz superconducting RF system of the LHC. A novel superconducting RF system for transverse deflection (aka crab cavities) will be used to compensate the geometric loss in luminosity due to the non-zero crossing angle and the extreme focusing of the bunches in the HL-LHC.
The highlights of the crab cavity prototype modules for SPS-tests with proton beam are outlined. The production status of the series crab cavity RF system at CERN and collaborations is presented with a perspective on future plans. The operational scenario for the accelerating RF system in the HL-LHC era is also described.
