Скачать или смотреть Installation of the D1 magnet into the IT String at CERN

The D1 cryoassembly, containing the separation dipole developed for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) by the Japanese institute KEK, was successfully installed in the IT String on 4 November 2024.

The cryoassembly was carefully transported to its final position using specialised equipment, including a load truck, a ROCLA vehicle, an overhead crane, and a transfer table. The transport operation was successfully coordinated by the IT String and magnet teams.

The next steps include connecting the D1 to the cryogenic line via a dedicated jumper and integrating it with neighbouring cryoassemblies. These processes will be verified through quality control procedures, such as electrical quality assurance tests and vacuum leak tests.
