Collider-experiment interface: how engineers are preparing for manoeuvres in this highly restricted region of the HL-LHC

By Florence Thompson (CERN)

A life-sized mockup of the highly restricted region between the collision points and the tunnel at ATLAS and CMS allows engineers to test and practise handling. 

Update on the reconfiguration of the test benches at SM18 for the cold tests of the HL-LHC cryo-magnets
