Summary
This paper documents the cold powering tests of 11-T Nb₃Sn dipole models developed for the LHC upgrade programme at CERN. The work reports on the first short dipole model magnets tested in single aperture configuration, analysing their training characteristics and performance under cold powering conditions. These results contribute to the technical validation of superconducting magnet designs intended to replace older Nb–Ti dipoles in LHC upgrade phases LS2 and LS3.
