Visit of the VAX mock-up in Building 186
Visit of the VAX mock-up in Building 186 This morning, the WP8 leader, Francisco Sánchez Galán, invited the management of the HL-LHC project to visit the VAX mock-up in Building 186. The VAX (Vacuum Assembly for eXperimental area) modules are composed of different vacuum and instrumentation components that will be hosted on the experimental side
