SM18
First Full Length Prototype of the 11T Dipole Magnet
The construction of the 5.5-m long 11T dipole prototype was completed in May this year after several years of intense work dedicated to the development and optimisation of the special tooling, and of the related manufacturing and inspection procedures.

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.
