Amorphous carbon coating in the beam screens for the circulating beam in the cryomodules for the crab cavities: production completed

By Pedro Costa Pinto (CERN)

The non-crabbed line in the cryomodules for the HL-LHC crab cavities host a carbon-coated beam screen. This coating reduces the emission of secondary electrons from the beam screen surface.

Update on the reconfiguration of the test benches at SM18 for the cold tests of the HL-LHC cryo-magnets

By Marco Buzio, Olivier Pirotte, Frédéric Savary, Gerard Willering (CERN - TE Department)

The qualification tests of the new cryo-magnet assemblies, to ensure their compliance with the HL-LHC specifications, requires a substantial upgrade of the cryogenic test stations in SM18.

HiRadMat test completed: a crucial step for the HL-LHC beam dump

By Gabriel Banks and Nicola Solieri (CERN)

This experiment is a crucial step in validating the material selection for the HL-LHC beam dumps (TDEs) and is the product of around 12 months of ideation and planning.

SQXL commissioning phase 1C successfully completed

By Nicolas Heredia Garcia, Aleksandra Onufrena, Antonio Perin, and Davide Bozzini (CERN)

The SQXL cryogenic line, an essential component of the HL-LHC IT String, has recently undergone an additional series of commissioning tests in standalone mode without the magnets.
