LHC and magnet operation

Speaker

Mr Rüdiger Schmidt (CERN)

Description

The current of the main dipole and quadrupole magnets will ramp proportional to the momentum of the particles accelerated in the LHC, for protons from 450 GeV/c to 7 TeV/c. For those magnets, the quench margin will be largest at injection. For other magnets, the current could follow different ramps that needs to be considered for the quench margin. When the beams are squeezed to reduce the beta function in the collision points, the current of some quadrupole magnets will increase, but for others the current will be reduced. In this presentation an overview of the various current functions during ramp and squeeze will be given.
