The Short dipole model program for the LHC

Following the approval of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by the CERN Council in December 1994, it was decided to launch an intensive in-house program for the fabrication and testing of short dipole models. Single and twin aperture models are been fabricated to study individual variants of the magnet design, the materials of the components and the assembly conditions. Models are made at a rate of one per month and often are re-worked with modified parameters.

In addition to the activities on dipole prototypes, the laboratory also participates to the R&D program for the insertion quadrupoles MQM and MQY, manages the inspections and test on polymide films for the LHC magnets and the mechanical instrumentation based on capacitive gauges, sets-up the diagnostic for the localization of possible intern -turn short circuits in magnet coils and is implementing a novel pulsed training facility.
