Test of Short Model and Prototype of the HL-LHC D2 Orbit Corrector Based on CCT Technology

• In the frame of the high-luminosity upgrade project for the large hadron collider, new twin aperture beam orbit corrector magnets will be installed near the recombination dipole (D2). These magnets are 2.2 m long canted cosine theta NbTi dipoles, with two independently powered apertures oriented such that their field vectors are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the beams. A 0.5 m model magnet in single and double aperture configuration and a full-length double aperture prototype were built and tested at CERN. In this paper, the performance of these magnets at 1.9 K in terms of training behavior, quench detection and protection, and other tests is discussed. In addition, the thermal response of the magnet to a hypothetical beam discharge is simulated and analyzed.
