Production and test of the first LQXB inner triplet quadrupole at Fermilab

Conference ·
OSTI ID:795648
Fermilab, in collaboration with LBNL and BNL, has developed a quadrupole (MQXB) for installation in the interaction region inner triplets of the LHC. This magnet is required to have an operating gradient of 215 T/m across a 70 mm coil bore, and to operate in superfluid helium at 1.9K. Two 5.5 m long MQXB magnets are combined with a dipole orbit corrector to form a single cryogenic unit (LQXB). This paper discusses the construction and test of the first full-scale production-quality LQXB.
