Summary
This technical paper describes the design and prototype construction of a high-field 11-T superconducting dipole magnet featuring Nb₃Sn conductor for the High Luminosity LHC project at CERN. The magnet employs a two-in-one structure with impregnated coils and a 5.3 m magnetic length, designed to replace longer 15-m main dipoles whilst maintaining the same integrated field. The paper details manufacturing procedures, quality assurance protocols, and production scheduling developed during full-length prototype fabrication to support subsequent series production.
UK applicability
This record documents fundamental physics infrastructure development at an international research facility (CERN, Geneva) and has no direct applicability to UK farming systems, soil health, nutrient density, or agricultural practice.
Key measures
Magnetic field strength (11 T), inner bore diameter (60 mm), magnetic length (5.3 m), integrated field equivalence to existing main dipole magnets, transfer function correction via trim current
Outcomes reported
