Magnetic Performance of First low-$\beta$ dipole corrector prototype, MCBX

The LHC low-beta triplets require a short and strong dipole corrector. The MCBX is a superconducting single aperture magnet, which features a horizontal dipole nested inside a vertical dipole.

Sumario:The LHC low-beta triplets require a short and strong dipole corrector. The MCBX is a superconducting single aperture magnet, which features a horizontal dipole nested inside a vertical dipole. The cold tests of the first prototype, which was designed by CERN and built by Danfysik A/S, have been carried out at CERN. This paper presents the results of the magnet training and quench propagation studies at 4.3 K and 1.9 K. The magnetic measurements carried out at constant field and in ramped conditions are compared to the expected figures from the calculations.
