Abstract:

The luminosity of a collider is proportional to the number of collisions that occur in a given amount of time. The higher the luminosity, the more collisions, and the more data can be obtained to observe low scattering cross-section processes.

The deflecting-mode accelerating cavities allow for the control of the orientation of charged particle bunches so that the bunches can be tilted in the way that maximizes their overlap at the collision point.

This talk presents recent developments in the field of superconducting deflecting-mode cavities. One particular type of these cavities, crab cavities, will be used to increase the luminosity of collisions in the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) – the future upgrade of the LHC planned for after 2025.
