Mid-term planning for testing of components in SM18
The SM18 test facility continues to play a central role in validating critical components for the HL-LHC Project. Currently all upgrades of the various test stations have been completed, including a second cold box providing helium for the IT String, a large update campaign for magnet test benches, new instrumentation hardware with quench antenna and…

Status of SM18 test benches for SC magnets and SC-link, and test plan for 2024
Test bench requirements for the HL-LHC In the last years, the horizontal test benches have been modified to accommodate the HL-LHC magnet and SC-link test program. The number of HL-LHC magnet cryoassemblies to be validated (24 magnets + 8 SC-links + spares) is much lower than for the LHC, but there are more variations in…
