Status of Magnet Production and Test Results
Nb3Sn triplet (MQXF) The most significant advancement has been the test of the third US-AUP full size magnet, named MQXFA03. The magnet reached nominal gradient with limited training and is the first magnet ready to be included in the first cold mass to be installed in the IT-String test. The test was particularly significant since…

Update on the Collaboration Members and Contributions
The 8th HL-LHC Collaboration Board took place during the last HL-LHC Annual Meeting in October 2018 at CERN. During the last months, several collaboration agreements have been prepared and are in the process of signature or advanced stage of finalization. – INFN for the production of the D2 cold masses. INFN is finalizing prototypes and…

Status of magnet test results
The last short model of the Nb3Sn quadrupole was limited below nominal current by one coil: to overcome this issue, the limiting coil shall be replaced magnet and the magnet shall be tested in summer. The results of the test on US prototype has been reported here. The first prototype of the nested corrector MCBXFB…

Highlights from the HL-LHC Work Packages
WP2: Performance and Beam Dynamics During a measurement campaign in 2017 at the LHC, it was clearly demonstrated for the first time the beam lifetime improvement due to a compensation of the beam-beam long range effects, using DC current baring wires. The measurements and design studies are continuing during 2018 for further refining of the…

Update on the Collaboration Partners and Contributions
The 7th HL-LHC Collaboration Board took place during the 7th HL-LHC Annual Meeting in November 2017, jointly organized by CIEMAT and CERN in Madrid, Spain. One of the focuses of the 7 th HLCB meeting was a summary of the existing agreements for in-kind contributions from collaborators. Since the HLCB meeting in Paris, the project…

Highlights from the HL-LHC Work Packages
WP2: Performance and Beam Dynamics Following the project re-baselining in summer 2016, the layout and optics of the high luminosity insertion regions were reviewed and the performance re-evaluated. This has led to a small but visible reduction in performance, reducing the margins available for the achievement of the nominal and ultimate luminosity targets. Optimization of…
