Abstract

The short model program, started in October 1995 to study and validate design variants and assembly of the main Large Hadron Collider (LHC) dipoles, has achieved its last phase. The last models were focused on the validation of specific design choices to be implemented in the series production, and to the study of the training performance of the coil heads. This paper reports on the manufacturing features of the recent twin-aperture short models, reviews the results of the cold tests and presents a summary of the training quench performance and quench location.
