Investigation and Optimization of a New Compact Superconducting Cavity for Deflecting and Crabbing Applications
… applications in current accelerator systems. The primary use of a deflecting cavity is to separate a single beam into multiple beams. A crabbing cavity enables the head-on collision at the interaction point in particle colliders in order to increase the luminosity. The early uses of the deflecting …
