Description
The High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) upgrade aims to increase the collider’s luminosity tenfold by 2029. Within this effort, the U.S. DOE Accelerator Upgrade Project (AUP) leads the design, procurement, and qualification of bulk-niobium radio-frequency dipole (RFD) crab cavities. These cavities are being fabricated through industrial vendors under strict quality-assurance and control protocols. The program includes vendor qualification, intermediate inspections, and acceptance testing, followed by final processing and performance verification at Fermilab and Jefferson Lab. This contribution summarizes the procurement workflow, qualification milestones, and lessons learned from production to delivery, outlining the path toward string assembly and cryostating at TRIUMF in preparation for installation in the LHC tunnel.
