Abstract
Within the LHC magnet development program Oxford Instruments has built a one metre model of the 70 mm aperture low-/spl beta/ quadrupole. The magnet features a four layer coil wound from two 8.2 mm wide graded NbTi cables, and is designed for 250 T/m at 1.9 K. The magnet has previously been tested between 4.5 K and 23 K. In this paper we review the magnet rebuild and the subsequent tests. Results on magnet training at 43 K and 1.9 K are presented along with the results related to quench protection studies. We also present the first results of magnetic field measurements done at room and liquid nitrogen temperatures.
