Testing beam-induced quench levels of LHC superconducting magnets

Testing beam-induced quench levels of LHC superconducting magnets

In the years 2009–2013 the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been operated with the top beam energies of 3.5 and 4 TeV per proton (from 2012) instead of the nominal 7 TeV. The currents in the superconducting magnets were reduced accordingly. To date only seventeen beam-induced quenches have occurred;...
