Industrial Learning Curves: Series Production of the LHC Main Superconduting Dipoles (2007)
Fessia, Paolo, Regis, Federico, Rossi, Lucio
By mid August 2006, 1160 of the 1232 of LHC main dipoles have been delivered to CERN by the three suppliers in charge of the production. The training of the staff, mostly hired just for this...
Parametric Analysis of Forces and Stresses in Superconducting Quadrupole Sector Windings (2007)
Fessia, Paolo, Regis, Federico, Todesco, Ezio
This paper presents a review of the existing analytical approximations of the magnetic field of a sector winding quadrupole, evaluating to which extent these formulae are usable as a first estimation...
