New collimators for HiLumi LHC: pre-series paving the way to full production
Teams at CERN are working hard to perform essential tests on three pre-series collimators to validate their new designs and give the final green light for the full series production for the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC). The pre-series includes a more-traditional single-beam collimator and two new X-series collimators which feature a double-beam design, new for…
