Test Result of a Full-Scale Prototype of Beam Separation Dipole Magnet for the High-Luminosity LHC Upgrade

Abstract
High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) is developing Nb-Ti based beam separation dipole (MBXF) for the high-luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) upgrade within the framework of CERN–KEK collaboration. This magnet produces field integral of 35 T•m in a 150 mm bore at 12 kA and 1.9 K. KEK has fabricated and tested three 2 m-long model magnets as in-house activities. After the technologies cultivated in these model magnet development was transferred from KEK to a manufacture, construction of the first full-scale prototype (MBXFP1) started in Hitachi. This paper reports test result of cold test for MBXFP1 including training, mechanical behavior, magnetic field quality and quench protection.
