E. Acerbi et al., DEVELOPMENT AND FABRICATION OF THE 1ST 10 M LONG SUPERCONDUCTING DIPOLE PROTOTYPE FOR THE LHC, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 30(4), 1994, pp. 1793-1796
A number of 10 m long dipole prototypes for the LHC is being manufactu
red by European industries, under CERN technical responsibility. This
paper resumes the main developments of the design as well as the retai
ned technological solutions for the fabrication of the first 10 m long
dipole prototype, manufactured by the Italian firm Ansaldo in the fra
me of the LHC magnets R&D program.
