All Q2 cryo-assemblies required for the tunnel validated
All Q2 cryo-assemblies required for the tunnel validated All eight HiLumi Q2 cryo-assemblies required for installation in the LHC tunnel, containing the longest accelerator-quality Nb₃Sn magnets ever built, have been validated. By Susana Izquierdo Bermúdez (CERN) On Tuesday 1st September, the cold powering test of the eighth and final Q2 cryo-assembly required for HiLumi LHC installation – containing the MQXFB11

Completion of the production of the Nb3Sn cables for MQXFB magnets
The production of all sixty series Nb3Sn superconducting Rutherford cable lengths marks an important milestone for the manufacturing of the Insertion Region MQXFB magnets of the HL-LHC. Each cable unit length is 750 m long whilst ensuring very tight dimension tolerances.

Successful testing of two MCBXF magnets and assembly completed of a third
We have just celebrated the completion of the assembly of the third magnet at CERN facilities. Two have already been successfully tested, confirming their perfect operation within the required parameter window for installation in the HL-LHC cold masses. This follows years of dedication, and overcoming challenges in the production timeline in recent years. Juan Carlos…

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

12th Collaboration meeting of the HL-LHC project, finally live again!
12th Collaboration meeting of the HL-LHC project, finally live again! By Oliver Brüning and Markus Zerlauth (CERN) Following the completion of the second Long Shutdown (LS2) and the successful re-start of CERNs accelerator complex for its 3rd operational run, efforts at CERN and across the High-Luminosity collaboration are now focusing on the series production of all

MCBXF nested correctors
MCBXF nested correctors By E. Todesco and J. C. Pérez (TE Dept, MSC group, HL-LHC WP3) and F. Toral (CIEMAT) on behalf of the CIEMAT collaboration In June a new assembly of the second nested corrector prototype MCBXFBP2c has been tested in SM18 at CERN. The first version of this magnet manufactured in 2020 had a performance
