Advanced superconductors such as Nb3Sn are being considered for future magnet upgrades of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP) has developed a large bore (120mm) Nb3Sn IR quadrupole (HQ) capable of reaching 15 T at its conductor and a gradients of 199T/m at 4.4K and 219T/m at 1.9K. HQ is addressing coil alignment and accelerator field quality in a shell-based mechanical structure. In this paper we summarize the fabrication, assembly and initial test results of the 1 m long two-layer magnet. |
