Development of CERN superconducting Canted Cosine Theta magnet prototype
Project description
CERN is currently upgrading its Large Hadron Collider to increase its collision frequency (luminosity) by an order of magnitude. To do so a new type of superconducting orbit corrector dipole magnet based on the Canted Cosine Theta (CCT) design is being developed. FREIA Laboratory is aiming at signing a so called K-contract with CERN for the fabrication of a series such magnets.
