- Lancaster is a major contributor to CERN’s LHC Luminosity upgrade, project managing HL-LHC-UK. Lancaster tested the first Crab-Cavity for the upgrade as well as defining, controlling and measuring phase modulations. Lancaster played a major role in the world’s first crabbing (http://cds.cern.ch/record/2621224) of a proton beam (Bruning, https://home.cern/news/news/accelerators/oliver-bruning-becomes-new-hl-lhc-project-leader), this work featured in phys.org (https://phys.org/news/2018-05-world-crabbing-proton.html) where specifications in this paper were verified. The LHC upgrade has been discussed by the team on BBC Breakfast, Blue Peter, Radio5-Live, BBC-Radio-Scotland and the crab RF system was discussed in the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/jun/15/720m-large-hadron-collider-upgrade-could-upend-particle-physics. This work seed-corned £1.1M funding by STFC (ST/T001895/1).
