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…
