LQS01a Summary Azimuthal stress LQS01a Gradient preload: T/m Nominal Oversized From LQS01a to LQS01b Reduction of the radial shimming from 30 to 15 mils Fuji Test to confirm LQS01bLQS01a Some unloading of the pole suggested lack of preload 11/14/ nd Joint HiLumi LHC - LARP Annual Meeting - H. Felice 30 mils ~ 750 m Radial shim thickness

LQS03 assembly target and motivation LQS03 assembly target were chosen identical to LQS02 assembly targets Some uncertainty about the reason behind the lack of performance of LQS02 Concern about mid-plane block quenches - conservative approach in keeping the same preload -1-to-1 comparison with LQS02 – only change of conductor - Unloading of the pole can be handled by a “healthy magnet” => TQS03a 227 T/m 209 T/m 93% Iss 11/14/2012 2nd Joint HiLumi LHC - LARP Annual Meeting - H.

LQS03 SG Investigation No correlation in terms of station location No correlation in terms of coil No correlation between T and Z Amplitude of SG signals is inconsistent with magnet performance Impact on the magnet performance are unclear: No signs of mechanical motion recorded during training Temperature compensator might be in cause SG de-bonding? Might require a visual inspection 11/14/2012 2nd Joint HiLumi LHC - LARP Annual Meeting - H. Felice 21
Excitation 11/14/2012 2nd Joint HiLumi LHC - LARP Annual Meeting - H. Felice 22 LQS01a LQS01b LQS03 SG in tension still respond to excitation Slightly different rate of unloading observed from one coil to the other

LQS03 Warm up Coil pole SG 11/14/2012 2nd Joint HiLumi LHC - LARP Annual Meeting - H. Felice 24 After warm-up, the SG do not recover the initial strain and still read some tension
LQ series: Summary on mechanical performance Trust in the capability of the structure to provide required preload: LQSD Linear unloading of the poles monitored by SG Shell and rods are behaving according to the FEM Absolute value of pole pieces SG cannot be trusted Challenge resides in the coil size and matching between pads and coil OD Impact on the magnet performance are unclear: No signs of mechanical motion recorded during training 11/14/2012 2nd Joint HiLumi LHC - LARP Annual Meeting - H. Felice 25
Next steps Option 1: increase of preload Some concern: Risk of damaging the outer layer Mid-plane quenches in LQS02 Signs of pole unloading in LQS02 Limit in bladder pressure LQS03: 7500 psi (52 Mpa) Option 2 A this point: complete disassembly seems to be the way to learn something 3 to 4 months from magnet at LBL to magnet ready to be shipped to FNAL After disassembly: coil inspection – 2 possible outcomes: Signs of damage on the SG => repair => reassembly No sign of damage of the SG => ? 11/14/2012 2nd Joint HiLumi LHC - LARP Annual Meeting - H.
