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
The D2 prototype magnet, developed and manufactured in Italy, has been integrated and tested in the longest HL-LHC cold mass with corrector magnets from China and CERN
The successful replacement of a coil in an HL-LHC niobium–tin quadrupole magnet by the US Accelerator Upgrade Project team has showcased this crucial technology’s flexibility and cost-effectiveness
