Description

The PS main magnet renovation program comprises two phases in which all PS main magnet units will be refurbished. Phase 1 will take place during the long PS shut down in 2005 and foresees the renovation of 40 magnets. The actual state of all magnets has been evaluated and analyzed in order to identify the weakest magnets. These magnets will be removed from the PS tunnel, completely dismantled and equipped with new main coils and new pole-face-windings. This presentation gives an overview about the magnet evaluation method and the manufacturing status of the new components. Aspects related to refurbishment, test and re-installation procedures will be discussed.
