/ Ballarino, Amalia (CERN) ; Bailey, Wendell (U. Southampton (main)) ; Barth, Christian (CERN) ; Cruikshank, Paul (CERN) ; Gahier, Vanessa (CERN) ; Leclercq, Yann (CERN) ; Pasdeloup, Florian (CERN) ; Willering, Gerard (CERN) ; Yang, Yifeng (U. Southampton (main))
The powering of the High Luminosity magnets of the Large Hadron Collider relies on Cold Powering Systems incorporating direct current superconducting lines, called Superconducting Links, based on magnesium diboride cables. A Cold Powering System interconnects the magnets in the accelerator existing tunnel to the power converters in newly excavated galleries that are about 8 m higher than the accelerator tunnel and up to about 100 m distant from the magnets.

Measurement and Modeling of Initial Quench Development in Nb3Sn Accelerator Magnets
/ Keijzer, Ruben (Twente U., Enschede) ; Willering, Gerard (CERN) ; Rogacki, Piotr (CERN) ; Fiscarelli, Lucio (CERN) ; Russenschuck, Stephan (CERN) ; Dhallé, Marc (Twente U., Enschede) ; Kate, Herman Ten (Twente U., Enschede)
Accelerator magnets are equipped with voltage taps and, on the test bench, with so-called quench antenna's to monitor the transient effects occurring during a magnet quench. Proper identification and localization of a quench origin is vital for understanding performance issues in Nb3Sn accelerator magnets. [...]

Construction and Analysis of a Modified Nb3Sn 11 T Short Dipole Model
/ Cabrera, Carmen Abad (CERN) ; Perini, Diego (CERN) ; Bampton, Tavis Alexander (CERN) ; Bahmane, Oussama Id (CERN) ; Izquierdo Bermudez, Susana (CERN) ; Bourcey, Nicolas (CERN) ; Devred, Arnaud (CERN) ; Vez, Ruth Diaz (CERN) ; Garion, Cedric (CERN) ; Guinchard, Michael (CERN) et al.
The 5.2-m-long, 11 T double-aperture Nb3Sn Dipole
Magnet was designed to replace some of the standard, 15-m-long
8.3 T Nb–Ti main dipole magnets in the Large Hadron Collider.
After the production and test of several of 2-m-long models, the
test of full-length 11 T series magnets revealed signs of performance
degradation in the coil ends after a sequence of electromagnetic and
thermal cycles. The possible sources for performance degradation
were categorized into two groups: issues internal to the coils and
issues with the coil support structure, in particular in the magnet
ends. [...]

The Development of MBRD Magnets, the Separation/Recombination Dipoles for the LHC High Luminosity Upgrade
/ Farinon, Stefania (INFN, Genoa) ; Angius, Silvano (ASG Supercond., Genova) ; Barutti, Alberto (ASG Supercond., Genova) ; Bersani, Andrea (INFN, Genoa) ; Bracco, Michela (Genoa U. ; INFN, Genoa) ; Caiffi, Barbara (INFN, Genoa) ; Fabbricatore, Pasquale (INFN, Genoa) ; Fiscarelli, Lucio (CERN) ; Foussat, Arnaud (CERN) ; Gagno, Andrea (Genoa U. ; INFN, Genoa) et al.
As part of the high-luminosity upgrade of CERN LHC accelerator project, the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Genoa, Italy, has developed the MBRD separation-recombination dipole, also known as D2, whose function is to bring beams into collision before and after the interaction regions of the CMS and ATLAS experiments. It is a NbTi cos-theta double aperture dipole that generates a 4.5 T field in a 105 mm aperture, with a magnetic length of 7.78 m, and has the specific feature that the magnetic field in the two apertures is oriented in the same direction.

The High-Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) (Todesco et al., 2021) foresees the replacement of the magnets around the interaction points of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN. One of the new magnets is the separation-recombination dipole, also called Main Bending Recombination Dipole (MBRD)(Caiffi et al., 2021), (Levi et al., 2022) in the D2 cryomagnet assembly. [...]
