Description
For the HL-LHC project, a 90 mm double aperture NbTi quadrupole magnet is being developed as an option to replace the 70 mm aperture LHC quadrupole MQY. This cos(2theta) magnet has an operating gradient of 120 T/m at 1.9 K and a magnetic length of 3.67 m. A single aperture short model magnet with a magnetic length of 1.2 m at 1.9 K has been designed at CEA and is being manufactured in collaboration with CERN. The magnet support structure is relying on self-supporting collars. We present here the mechanical analysis along with the assembly of the short model from coil mechanical characterization to collaring and yoking. In addition, warm magnetic measurements performed during assembly at CERN and preliminary cold tests results at CEA will be reported.
