Abstract
The LHC dispersion suppressors and matching sections will be equipped with individually powered super-conducting quadrupoles with an aperture of 56 mm . In order to optimise the parameters and cost of the magnets and of their powering, the quadrupole has been designed on the basis of a 8.2 mm wide Ru therford-type cable for a nominal current of 5300 A, corresponding to a gra dient of 200 T/m at 1.9K. In order to validate the design two 1-m single-ap erture quadrupoles and one twin-aperture quadrupole have been built and tes ted. In this report we describe the construction features of the magnets an d present the results of the magnet tests.
