Speaker

Dr Ezio Todesco (CERN)

Description

About the lecture:

In this talk we will review the main aims of test at cryogenic temperatures: electrical integrity, virgin training and performance, stability at flattop, retraining after thermal cycle, power losses and field quality. We will outline the main strategies adopted for high energy colliders, with a special attention on the LHC and on the HL LHC cases.

About the speaker:

Ezio Todesco work at CERN, taking care of FQ in LHC dipole and then of the magnetic model of LHC. Since 2015 he is also in charge of the interaction region magnets for HL-LHC, including the Nb3Sn triplet quadrupoles, to be installed in 2026-28.
