Visit of the VAX mock-up in Building 186
Visit of the VAX mock-up in Building 186 This morning, the WP8 leader, Francisco Sánchez Galán, invited the management of the HL-LHC project to visit the VAX mock-up in Building 186. The VAX (Vacuum Assembly for eXperimental area) modules are composed of different vacuum and instrumentation components that will be hosted on the experimental side

P8 towards HL-LHC thanks to a new absorber
P8 towards HL-LHC thanks to a new absorber The newly installed TANB absorbers (1 per side) will minimise the heat load on the D2 magnets to values well below the quench level and prepare Point 8 to the High Luminosity era, possibly also compatible with future LHCb upgrades.
