3. 7-8: Arc and DS Interconnection closure achieved on schedule week 45
Pressure test performed November 25-26th:
Buckling of inner triplet external heat-exchanger at 12 bar (9 bar differential pressure with B line)
Test continued up to 27.5 bar on “stand-alone” and continuous cryostat after isolating the inner triplet
All important leaks have been found and repaired in a record time
 Cool-down preparation is on-going to power test sector 7-8 as close as possible to schedule (March 07), without the inner triplet B
