MQXFA05 and MQXFA06 vertical test results
MQXFA05 and MQXFA06 vertical test results By Maria Baldini (Fermilab) The US Accelerator Upgrade Project (US-HL-LHC AUP) and CERN are designing and fabricating superconducting quadrupole magnets (MQXF) for a new interaction region of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). The Nb3Sn quadrupole magnets operate in superfluid He at 1.9 K, providing an integrated gradient

First D2 corrector prototype manufactured by IHEP collaboration
First D2 corrector prototype manufactured by IHEP collaboration In the past few months, the first D2 corrector prototype, built by a Chinese collaboration steered by IHEP in Beijing, has been completed. The magnet was manufactured by Western Superconducting Technologies, Xi’an and was tested at 4.2 K in the Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou. The magnet reached the ultimate field in both apertures, as
