Conclusions from Preliminary Testing Signal noise is amazingly insensitive to cable routing. –This allows practical routing in the cable trays. Barring any unforeseen noise issues, sub nΩ resolution should be possible. A 300µV real time early warning threshold is practical. –But keep in mind that saturation at high field or magnetization at low field may spoil compensation slightly. –Some variation in splice resistance must be tolerated. –Some variation in electronic component noise must be tolerated. –And many unexplored and hence unforeseen noise sources may spoil and consume our threshold margin. (TGV, Bastille Day, etc.) –A healthy margin must be maintained, as false trips may keep the Higgs away. –Only after operational experience with the entire system will we know if the threshold really needs to be increased for stability or possibly could be decreased to provide added security. (The threshold needs to be secure but flexible.) YES WE CAN !
