Mechanical Analysis Of The 400 Mhz Rf-Dipole Crabbing Cavity Prototype For Lhc High Luminosity Upgrade, S. U. De Silva, H. Park, J. R. Delayen, Z. Li

Physics Faculty Publications

The proposed LHC high luminosity upgrade requires two crabbing systems in increasing the peak luminosity, operating both vertically and horizontally at two interaction points of IP1 and IP5. The required system has tight dimensional constraints and needs to achieve higher operational gradients. A proof-of-principle 400 MHz crabbing cavity design has been successfully tested and has proven to be an ideal candidate for the crabbing system. The cylindrical proof-of-principle rf-dipole design has been adapted in to a square shaped design to further meet the dimensional requirements. The new rf-dipole design has been optimized in meeting the requirements in rf-properties, higher order …
