Description

This paper gives a progress report on the work done and on-going in the frame of the task force on the LHC splices consolidation. First, an inventory of the superconducting 6 kA splices all around the LHC machine is given. Then one circuit is presented in detail (Q7L2). The method and results of superconducting splices resistance measurement are given. The so-called hand praying splices are detailed: electrical and mechanical specifications, procedure used and tests performed on samples. Preliminary information is given on a possible reinforcement of these splices.
