D2 Dipole for High Luminosity LHC

For High Luminosity LHC, the future configuration of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland) several new magnets are needed to have the proper acceptance to cope with the high intensity beams emittances.

The recombination dipoles (D2) are one of the magnet that will be replaced. INFN Genova is involved in the design and construction follow-up from the beginning of the project, in collaboration with INFN Milano and Salerno and CERN.

Presently the short model dipole is under construction at AS-G Superconductors in Genova. The delivery of the 1.6m magnet is foreseen for early 2018 and soon after the prototype construction will start.
