| Abstract | The first 3.3-km long LHC sector (sector 7-8) was cooled down for the first time from room temperature to below 2.0 K from January to March, 2007. In this paper, the measured cool-down evolution of the sector is presented and compared with the calculated results. The discrepancies between the measured and calculated data are analyzed. In addition, two unexpected phenomena, unbalanced cool-down between two neighboring cells supplied by one valve, and longer cool-down time with respect to the predicted generic cool-down are thoroughly and numerically analyzed. |
