  • HiLumi LHC magnet cryo-assemblies over the halfway mark for qualification

    HiLumi LHC magnet cryo-assemblies over the halfway mark for qualification

    Over half of the new horizontal cryomagnet assemblies required for installation in the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC) have been qualified for tunnel deployment, giving confidence in the project’s progress as we speed towards Long Shutdown 3, when major installation works for the upgraded collider will take place.

  • D2 short model tests results

    D2 short model tests results The D2 short model built under the collaboration agreement with INFN Genova, was tested in SM18, CERN, last August. This assembly, named MBRDS1c, which had one aperture replaced after finding a major damage in the cable at the location of the layer jump, is the only short model of the

  • MQSXFP1c and MCDXF01 test at INFN LASA

    MQSXFP1c and MCDXF01 test at INFN LASA Last month, the INFN LASA team tested the third assembly of the skew quadrupole corrector magnet MQSXFP1c and the first series production high order corrector, a decapole MCDXF01. The two magnets, which were cooled together and powered individually, were tested at 4.2K and the results were extremely positive. For
