First series RFD crab cavity on the road to cryomodule assembly
The first dressed series RF dipole crab cavity, RFD02, has been successfully delivered to TRIUMF, Canada, from JLAB, USA. This begins the cavity’s journey towards cryostating, when it will be integrated – along with the second dressed series cavity expected to arrive still in the first half of 2026 – into the first series cryomodule.

All bare DQW crab cavities produced and qualified
Following etching and most-recent tests of the final 6 bare DQW crab cavities delivered to CERN earlier this year, the whole DQW series has been qualified.

UK delivers first state-of-the-art cryomodule to CERN for the High-Luminosity LHC upgrade
The first pre-series cryomodule equipped with superconducting Radio Frequency Dipole (RFD) crab cavities was completed in October 2023 at Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)’s Daresbury Laboratory as a collaboration between HL-LHC-UK and CERN
