Mandate

·     Design and procurement of superconducting cables for all the LHC Project.

·     Follow-up of the Raw Material (NbTi and Nb) supply to the cable manufacturers according to a very demanding specification.

·     Follow-up of the LHC cable manufacturing distributed in 8 contracts.

·     Measurements of the physical properties of the superconducting strands and cables in a dedicated laboratory at CERN, with all the necessary equipment, controls, instrumentation and tests to assure the cable quality.

·     Organisation of all the measurements performed in the firms and at CERN in an Oracle Data Base to allow correct technical decisions and to ensure the traceability of the cables.

·     Analysis of the properties of cable in magnets to feed back production procedures and to study, with MA section, the possible mixing schemes to easy magnet installation.

·     Act as a technological centre of expertise and excellence in the design and qualification of new superconducting materials and wires and the know-how of superconducting cables in magnets.
