Lessons learned from the prototypes of the MQXFA Low Beta Quadrupoles for HL-LHC and status of production in the US
/ Ambrosio, Giorgio (Fermilab) ; Amm, Kathleen (BNL, NSLS) ; Anerella, Michael (BNL, NSLS) ; Apollinari, Giorgio (Fermilab) ; Baldini, Maria (Fermilab) ; Blowers, Jamie (Fermilab) ; Bossert, Rodger (Fermilab) ; Carcagno, Ruben (Fermilab) ; Cheng, Daniel W (BNL, NSLS) ; Chlachidze, Guram (Fermilab) et al.
With the successful test of the first two pre-series magnets the US HL-LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project has started production of the MQXFA magnets to be used in Q1/Q3 inner triplet elements of the HL-LHC. This good start comes after the test of two prototypes with limited performance, and it demonstrates the importance of learning from past issues. [...]

MQXF is the Nb$_3$Sn Low-β Quadrupole magnet that the HL-LHC project is planning to install in the LHC interaction regions in 2026 as part of an upgrade to increase the LHC inte-grated luminosity by about a factor of ten. The magnet will be fab-ricated in two different lengths: 4.2 m for MQXFA, built in the US by the Accelerator Upgrade Project (AUP), and 7.15 m for MQXFB, fabricated by CERN. [...]
