First D2 corrector prototype manufactured by IHEP collaboration
First D2 corrector prototype manufactured by IHEP collaboration In the past few months, the first D2 corrector prototype, built by a Chinese collaboration steered by IHEP in Beijing, has been completed. The magnet was manufactured by Western Superconducting Technologies, Xi’an and was tested at 4.2 K in the Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou. The magnet reached the ultimate field in both apertures, as
