  • Abstract
    Special individually powered superconducting quadrupoles are required for the LHC insertions. These units comprise quadrupole magnets of the MQM and MQY types and range in length from 5.4 m to 11.4 m. In total, 82 insertion quadrupoles will be assembled at CERN. In this paper we present the advance in construction of the magnets and report on the performance of the first series built units, including power tests and alignment of the cold masses.
