The new HL-LHC cold powering system, which includes the high-temperature superconducting link colloquially known as “the python”, has successfully passed its first cold powering tests
Following the completion of a successful in-house development phase, CERN is equipping the ATLAS and CMS detectors with new carbon dioxide (CO2) cooling systems that will contribute to the transition towards green and sustainable technology in this area
A flexible cryostat and the first series of high-temperature superconducting magnesium diboride cables will form an innovative electrical transfer line to power the HL-LHC inner triplet magnets
SM18 is one of the largest magnet test facilities in the world. Dedicated to testing superconducting magnets and radiofrequency cavities, it is now waiting for the first HL-LHC components
