Summary
This technical report documents progress on the Nb₃Sn 11 T dipole magnet development for CERN's High Luminosity LHC upgrade project. The paper reviews design features, short model testing results, prototype construction activities at CERN, and the production timeline toward installation during the planned 2019–2020 long shutdown. Key manufacturing challenges including superconductor reaction treatment and coil impregnation are discussed alongside quench performance validation data.
UK applicability
This paper is not applicable to UK farming systems, soil health, nutrient density or human health research. It addresses particle physics infrastructure development at CERN and has no relevance to Vitagri's Pulse Brain catalogue scope.
Key measures
Magnet field strength (11 T), integrated field performance, quench test results, operational readiness metrics
Outcomes reported
The paper reports on the development status and performance testing of an 11 T superconducting dipole magnet designed for the High Luminosity LHC upgrade. Critical manufacturing operations including reaction treatment, coil impregnation, and quench performance were evaluated on prototype models.
