Cold Powering System: confidence and validation for future installations, and series production progress
The HL-LHC Cold Powering Systems transfer the current from the power converters, located in the new underground galleries, to the superconducting magnets of the HL-LHC Inner Triplets and Matching Sections, in the LHC tunnel, on either side of Point 1 and Point 5. Eight systems plus two spares of two different types, X for the…

Progress with series production of DFHX/M by the University of Uppsala and DFX/M by the University of Southampton
The HL-LHC cold powering systems transfer the current from the power converters, located in the new underground galleries, to the superconducting magnets of the HL-LHC inner triplets and matching sections at Point 1 and Point 5. Eight systems plus two spares of each of the two different types – ‘X’ for the inner triplets; ‘M’…
