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

Separation dipole prototype test results of the first run
Separation dipole prototype test results of the first run By E. Todesco (CERN) and T. Nakamoto (KEK) Six separation dipoles will be delivered to CERN as in-kind contribution from Japan. The magnet design, manufacturing and testing is steered by a team led by Tatsu Nakamoto in KEK laboratories. In 2019 the short model program was

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

Welcoming of the SigmaPhi magnet of the QUACO project
Welcoming of the SigmaPhi magnet of the QUACO project On the morning of 15 June, the QUACO quadrupole magnet manufactured by the French company SigmaPhi arrived at CERN. The magnet is now in B311, where magnetics measurements in one of the two apertures will be carried out to characterise the field performance. Called MQYY, this magnet is

Arrival of Elytt’s magnet, from the QUACO project, at CERN
Arrival of Elytt’s magnet, from the QUACO project, at CERN The first of the two QUACO quadrupole magnets, developed by the Spanish company Elytt Energy, arrived at CERN at the beginning of March. Magnetic measurements, which are expected to characterize the field performances, are being carried out at CERN in B311 and are almost complete. This

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
