  2. Overview • History of Accelerator Magnets AssembliesLHC IR Quadrupoles. • LHC Hi-Lumi Upgrade Models • MQXC Nb-Ti model triplet assembly • (back up design) • Nb3-Sn development history. • MQXF assembly procedure (base line design)

  3. History of Accelerator MagnetsLHC IR Quadrupole • Oxford Inst. used a thin spacer, coil was compressed with an aluminum ring, closed gap at cold no movement. Later converted to a 2-in-1 MQY and is in LHC today • KEK compressed the coil with a Yoke collar and large magnetic keys. • Fermi Lab used a collar to support the coil forced with a little help from the yoke.

  31. Summary for Assembly Techniques For the main IR Quad, needed for the LHC Hi-Luminosity upgrade, CERN with the help of the US labs, are developing a Nb3Sn magnet, with the bladder & key structure. As a backup a high heat extraction Nb-Ti model magnet was successfully tested. The techniques used in this assembly can be applied to the other Nb-Ti magnet that are needed for the upgrade e.g. D1, D2, MQY, and zoo of Correctors.

  32. Thanks to the teams. Many people have worked on the Nb-Ti MQXC. And Nb3Sn bladder & key designs. Hear we see a few. Thanks to you all ! Special thank you to Paolo Ferracin for providing the the B&K slides Nb-Ti Nb3Sn
