Summary
This technical report documents the status of long coil production for Nb₃Sn superconducting quadrupoles being developed for the High Luminosity LHC upgrade at CERN in collaboration with the US-LHC Accelerator Research Program. The paper describes the fabrication and testing of copper practice coils and provides specifications for what will be among the longest Nb₃Sn accelerator magnet coils produced to date, along with planned assembly and impregnation procedures.
UK applicability
This particle physics accelerator component development has no direct applicability to United Kingdom farming systems, soil health, or food production research, which are the core focus areas of Vitagri's Pulse Brain.
Key measures
Coil length (7281 mm), nominal quadrupole field gradient (132.6 T/m), production timeline and tooling specifications
Outcomes reported
This paper reports the status of tooling development and production of the first copper practice coil for the MQXFB Nb₃Sn quadrupole, including winding, curing, and reaction heat treatment processes. It provides an overview of planned vacuum impregnation procedures and magnet assembly development with a prototype production schedule.
