Thermal Properties
The 3 + 1 properties that concern us the most We support the CERN community across its full temperature range EXTREME TEMPERATURES From as low as 1.9 K up to 2000 °C 1.9 K At CERN, temperatures as low as 1.9 K are widely present – and necessary as the LHC particularly relies heavily on…

Study on the Thermal Contraction Behavior of State-of-the-Art Nb3Sn Superconducting Magnet Coils in the Longitudinal, Azimuthal, and Radial Direction
To meet the requirements of the HL-LHC upgrade in terms of stronger magnetic fields, the new focusing MQXF quadrupoles make use of the enhanced superconducting properties of Nb 3 Sn compared to its predecessor NbTi. However, the change in material leads to an increased brittleness and strain sensitivity of the magnet coils, which raises the…
