Machine protection: DQHDS series production advances as IT String tests validate HiLumi LHC protection systems
Delivery of Quench Heater Discharge Power Supply (DQHDS) units from KEK is steady, with adaptations being made in response to increased fuel costs. Testing both in Japan and at CERN, and system-level testing in the IT String offer confidence in the technology’s readiness, and for the consolidation of the individually-powered dipole and quadrupole (IPD and…
