Abstract :
The first version of the LHC Prototype Half-Cell has been in operation since February 1995. It consists of one quadrupole and three 10-m twin aperture dipole magnets which operate at 1.9 K. One electrical circuit powers all the magnets in series. This experimental set-up has been used to observe and study phenomena which appear when the systems are assembled in one unit and therefore influence one another
