DFX #1 already at CERN
DFX #1 already at CERN By Amalia Ballarino, Paul Cruickshank & Yann Leclercq on behalf of WP6A The first DFX cryostat, supplied via the STFC and CERN funded HL-LHC-UK Collaboration, was shipped from the UK on 25 March. This is a pre-series unit and a cornerstone of the so-called ‘Cold Powering prototype system test’ on the F2 test bench
