The magnet, named MQXFB03, is 7.2 metres in length. It is the first of ten that will be needed for the HL-LHC. (Image: CERN) The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) needs specific types of magnets to tightly control the beams of particles at its collision points. Called final-focusing quadrupoles, these magnets are installed in the LHC’s interaction regions around the experiments. For the high-luminosity upgrade of the LHC (HL-LHC), the final-focusing magnets at ATLAS and CMS will need replacing. Test...
