							RFD Assembly
Two prototypes of RF dipole cavities which provide horizontal crabbing for the HL-LHC were successfully built at CERN. The frequency tuning setup before the final two welds is shown in the figure below.

												RFD Cavity Tests at 2K
The two RF dipole crab (RFD) cavities being prototyped for the SPS tests underwent an ultra-pure water rinsing for a period of approximately 7 hours at very high pressure of 100 bar.

												Start of series production for RFD CC at Zanon
In the framework of HL-LHC AUP in the US, last year two prototype RF Dipole Crab Cavities manufactured in Italy by Zanon Research & Innovation were validated successfully at FNAL through cold tests at 2K.
