Description

The High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project was approved as first priority by the special CERN Council held in Brussels on 30th May 2013 and the CERN Council approved its financing for the years 2015-2025.

The replacement of the present inner triplet (IT) quadrupole magnets by new quadrupoles (MQXF), featuring much larger aperture and higher peak field, is the cornerstone of the upgrade plan.

The SC cable is the component with the longest design, validation and procurement time for SC magnets. This characteristic is even more accentuated with a complex conductor such as Nb3Sn used in the MQXFs.

This Review will assess the Project preparedness on the front of the SC cable.

Review panel: Dr. Arnaud Devred (ITER IO, Chair), Dr. Herman Ten Kate (CERN), Dr. Akira Yamamoto (CERN & KEK), Dr. Bruce Strauss (DOE HQ), Dr. David Larbalestier (NHMFL)
