Towards MQXFB Series Coils
/ Lusa, Nicholas (CERN) ; Devred, Arnaud (CERN) ; Ferradas Troitino, José (CERN) ; Izquierdo Bermudez, Susana (CERN) ; Milanese, Attilio (CERN) ; Quassolo, Penelope Matilde (CERN) ; Straarup, Simon (CERN) ; Todesco, Ezio (CERN)
The cold powering test of the first two MQXFB prototype quadrupoles, the Nb$_3$Sn inner triplet magnets to be installed in the HL-LHC, has found performance limitations. This prompted putting on hold the coil fabrication, to review in depth the full manufacturing process, while in parallel performing destructive inspections on selected coils. [...]

Status of the MQXFB Nb$_3$Sn quadrupoles for the HL-LHC
/ Izquierdo Bermudez, Susana (CERN) ; Ambrosio, Giorgio (Fermilab) ; Apollinari, Giorgio (Fermilab) ; Ballarino, Amalia (CERN) ; Barth, Christian (CERN) ; Crouvizier, Mickael Denis (CERN) ; Duarte Ramos, Delio (CERN) ; Devred, Arnaud (CERN) ; Feher, Sandor (Fermilab) ; Felice, Helene (CERN) et al.
The cold powering test of the first two prototypes of the MQXFB quadrupoles (MQXFBP1, now disassembled, and MQXFBP2), the Nb3Sn inner triplet magnets to be installed in the HL-LHC, has validated many features of the design, such as field quality and quench protection, but has found performance limitations. In fact, both magnets showed a similar phenomenology, characterized by reproducible quenches in the straight part inner layer pole turn, with absence of training and limiting the performance at 93% (MQXFBP1) and 98% (MQXFBP2) of the nominal current at 1.9 K, required for HL-LHC operation at 7 TeV.

Challenges and Lessons Learned From Fabrication, Testing, and Analysis of Eight MQXFA Low Beta Quadrupole Magnets for HL-LHC
/ Ambrosio, Giorgio (Fermilab) ; Amm, Kathleen (Brookhaven) ; Anerella, Michael (Brookhaven) ; Apollinari, Giorgio (Fermilab) ; Izquierdo, Gonzalo Arnau (CERN) ; Baldini, Maria (Fermilab) ; Ballarino, Amalia (CERN) ; Barth, Christian (CERN) ; Yahia, Anis Ben (Brookhaven) ; Blowers, James (Fermilab) et al.
By the end of October 2022, the US HL-LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project (AUP) had completed fabrication of ten MQXFA magnets and tested eight of them. The MQXFA magnets are the low beta quadrupole magnets to be used in the Q1 and Q3 Inner Triplet elements of the High Luminosity LHC. [...]

Performance of a MQXF Nb$_3$Sn Quadrupole Magnet Under Different Stress Level
/ Izquierdo Bermudez, Susana (CERN) ; Ambrosio, Giorgio (Fermilab) ; Bordini, Bernardo (CERN) ; Bourcey, Nicolas (CERN) ; Devred, Arnaud ; Ferracin, Paolo (LBNL, Berkeley) ; Ferradas Troitino, Jose (CERN) ; Ferradas Troitino, Salvador (CERN) ; Fiscarelli, Lucio (CERN) ; Fleiter, Jerome (CERN) et al.
In a dipole or in a quadrupole accelerator magnet, the displacement of the coil turns induced by the electromagnetic forces can cause quenches limiting the magnet performance. For this reason, an azimuthal preload is applied to avoid azimuthal movements of the coil up to the required operational current. [...]

Powering Performance and Endurance Beyond Design Limits of HL-LHC Low-Beta Quadrupole Model Magnets
/ Mangiarotti, Franco J (CERN) ; Ferradas Troitino, Salvador (CERN) ; Duda, Michal (Cracow, INP) ; Bajko, Marta (CERN) ; Bottura, Luca (CERN) ; Desbiolles, Vincent (CERN) ; Elekes, Gyopar (Babes-Bolyai U.) ; Ferradas Troitino, Jose (METROLAB, Geneva ; CERN) ; Feuvrier, Jerome (CERN) ; Ferracin, Paolo (LBNL, Berkeley) et al.
For the High Luminosity Upgrade project (HL-LHC) of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), lower β* quadrupole magnets based on advanced Nb 3 Sn conductors will be installed on each side of the ATLAS and CMS interaction points. To quantify the endurance and technological limits of these magnets, beyond their maximum operational conditions, two short length model magnets have been extensively tested at the CERN SM18 test facility.

Quench Protection Studies for the High Luminosity LHC Nb$_3$Sn Quadrupole Magnets
/ Ravaioli, Emmanuele (CERN) ; Ambrosio, Giorgio (Fermilab) ; Bajas, Hugues (CERN) ; Duda, Michal (PSI, Villigen ; CERN) ; Ferracin, Paolo (LBNL, Berkeley) ; Ferradas Troitino, Jose (CERN) ; Izquierdo Bermudez, Susana (CERN) ; Mangiarotti, Franco (CERN) ; Marinozzi, Vittorio (Fermilab) ; Mentink, Matthias (CERN) et al.
Achieving the targets of the High Luminosity LHC project requires the installation of new inner triplet magnet circuits for the final focusing of the particle beams on each side of the two main interaction points. Each of the four circuits will include six 150 mm aperture, 132.2 T/m gradient, Nb$_3$Sn quadrupole magnets to be installed in the LHC tunnel. [...]

3-D thermal-electric finite element model of a Nb$_3$Sn coil during a quench

High field superconducting magnets for particle accelerators often exhibit premature quenches. Once a normal zone is generated within the conductor, the quench may propagate causing temperature and resistive voltage rise along the coil. [...]

Mechanical analysis of the collaring process of the 11 T dipole magnet
/ Ferracin, Paolo (CERN) ; Bottura, Luca (CERN) ; Bourcey, Nicolas (CERN) ; Daly, Michael (CERN) ; Devred, Arnaud (CERN) ; Izquierdo Bermudez, Susana (CERN) ; Ferradas Troitino, Jose (CERN) ; Ferradas Troitino, Salvador (CERN) ; Grosclaude, Philippe (CERN) ; Guinchard, Michael (CERN) et al.
As part of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator upgrades foreseen by the high luminosity-LHC project, the CERN 11 T program is aimed at replacing standard LHC Nb-Ti main dipole magnets, operating with a bore field of 8.3 T, with pairs of shorter Nb$_3$Sn dipole magnets with a bore field of 11 T and the same total integrated field, thus providing space for additional collimators in the dispersion suppressor region. At the time of the submission of this paper, six single-aperture and two double-aperture short models have been fabricated and tested. [...]
