Test of the long nested dipole corrector
Test of the long nested dipole corrector By Ezio Todesco, WP3 Leader (CERN) The 2.5-m-long nested corrector prototype, named MCBXFAP1, has been successfully tested in the past weeks in SM18. The magnet reached the operational range at 7.5 TeV (ultimate current) with one quench and showed no retraining after thermal cycle, see plots below. The

The SM18 test facility in the HL-LHC era | home.cern
The SM18 test facility in the HL-LHC era | home.cern By Anaïs Schaeffer (CERN) on home.cern The SM18 test facility, located in France, near the Meyrin site, was originally built to test and validate the magnets and radiofrequency (RF) cavities of LEP (the Large Electron–Positron Collider). It has since seen over 1700 such components pass through it – including, of
