Description

Complete overlapping of the electron and positron bunches at colliding point can be attained by using the strong time-depending electromagnetic RF field in the superconducting crab cavity. Commissioning of the crab cavities started in February 2007 at KEKB. Effective head-on collision of electron and positron has been achieved successfully. After introduction of crab crossing and crab cavity, the structure and the fabrication of the KEKB superconducting crab cavity are discussed. (author)
