Start of Series production of DFHX/M by RFR
The HL-LHC Cold Powering Systems transfer the current from the power converters, located in the new underground galleries, to the new superconducting magnets of the HL-LHC Inner Triplets and Matching Sections at P1 and P5
WP6A Cold Powering
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).
