发帖数: 146 | 1 On Tuesday, March 27, a Fermilab-built quadrupole magnet, one of an “inner
triplet” of three focusing magnets, failed a high-pressure test at Point 5
in the tunnel of the LHC accelerator at CERN. Since Tuesday, teams at CERN
and Fermilab have worked closely together to address the problem and have
identified the cause of the failure. Now they are at work on a solution.
The asymmetric force generated by the pressure of the test broke the
supports in magnet Q1 that hold the magnet’s cold mass insi |
