Decision to delay the IT String test by one year and to limit the IT String test to one year operation
The HL-LHC magnets and cold powering systems are planned to be tested individually on dedicated test benches in the SM18 test facility at CERN or at the collaborators test facility (e.g. at Fermilab in the USA).

Fruitful Development Using a New Superconductor
An important milestone was achieved in June 2020 with the successful test at CERN of a demonstrator of the cold powering system for the HL-LHC magnets. Demo 2 incorporates a superconducting 60-m long power transmission line, the Superconducting Link.
WP6A Cold Powering
The DFH Cold Boxes produced in a CERN–FREIA/Uppsala University collaboration involving the Swedish RFR industrial company
This collaboration concerns the cryostat devices that will house and connect the HTS REBCO current leads to the MgB2 Superconducting Links powering the HL-LHC magnets.
