7.2-m-long niobium–tin quadrupole magnet manufactured at CERN reaches nominal current for the first time | home.cern
The 7.2-metre-long version of this vital HL-LHC component reached nominal current plus an operational margin corresponding to a coil peak field of 11.5 T at 1.9 K during a test in SM18..

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

The SM18 test facility in the HL-LHC era | home.cern
The SM18 test facility in the HL-LHC era | home.cern By Anaïs Schaeffer (CERN) on home.cern The SM18 test facility, located in France, near the Meyrin site, was originally built to test and validate the magnets and radiofrequency (RF) cavities of LEP (the Large Electron–Positron Collider). It has since seen over 1700 such components pass through it – including, of

MCBRD01 test results
MCBRD01 test results By Ezio Todesco, WP3 Leader (CERN) Last month, the first series D2 corrector magnet, developed in the framework of the IHEP-China in-kind contribution, was tested at CERN. The magnet was manufactured at BAMA. The test at IMP showed the ability to reach ultimate current at 4.5 K, but with a retraining not in

MCBRDP4 test results
MCBRDP4 test results By Ezio Todesco, WP3 Leader (CERN) During the past weeks, the fourth prototype of the MCBRD magnets (orbit correctors of D2 based on canted cos theta design) has been tested at CERN. This magnet was fully built at CERN 927 using standard procedures, and has reached the performance requirements. The training was initially

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

MQXFS4 results
MQXFS4 results By Ezio Todesco, WP3 Leader The quadrupole short model magnet (MQXFS4), that went through endurance test in 2019, was retested at the end of 2021 to measure the magnetic effect of the beam screen. In this test run, following the 11th cooldown, the magnet reached ultimate current without quench at 1.9 K and

Series production of HL-LHC superferric High Order correctors is completed
Series production of HL-LHC superferric High Order correctors is completed The High Order correctors for the HL-LHC project are designed to compensate for field quality errors of the main final focusing quadrupoles in the Interaction Regions of the high luminosity experiments ATLAS and CMS. They were designed at INFN LASA Milano and have been manufactured

MCBXFB magnets ready for series production after successful design iteration
MCBXFB magnets ready for series production after successful design iteration By J. C. Perez and E. Todesco, TE Dept, MSC group, HL-LHC (CERN) In the HL-LHC machine, to be installed during the third long shutdown (LS3), the family of magnets named MCBXF (see figure above) will be located on both sides of the ATLAS and
