Abstract :
The LEP (Large Electron Positron colliding beam accelerator) uses a dual-frequency acceleration system consisting of coupled accelerating and storage cavities. Basic design features of this system with its accessories and tuning system are described. One hundred and thirty cavities have been built by industry; the assembly and conditioning with RF power were done at CERN. All cavities are now installed in the LEP tunnel. The procedures used and first experiences are presented
