Description

The speaker will illustrate the motivations which, in the last decade, brought to new consideration of RF transverse deflecting cavities, a.k.a. crab cavities, for application to storage ring light sources (time-resolved synchrotron radiation experiments) as well as to circular and linear colliders (maximizing luminosity). He will report on the physical constraints of the aforementioned accelerators to the implementation of crab cavities, the technical challenges and the advancement in the production of superconducting devices.
