Description

The Crab Cavity Low-Level RF systems in hadron machines will have to reduce the Crab Cavity impedance to prevent transverse instabilities, while regulating the crabbing voltage and minimizing the Radio Frequency noise levels injected to the beam. These are challenging and partly conflicting requirements. In this talk, I will summarize the studies that set the Crab Cavity LLRF specifications and guide the design. I will also present possible trade-offs in the architecture and identify the major challenges as these systems are designed, built, and commissioned.
