  Given the high radiation area and the tight alignment tolerances, the LHC inner triplet magnets were designed to be realigned remotely using motorized supporting jacks. However, during run 2 the LHC triplet realignment system started to show an unexpected behavior with erratic load variations on the magnet supporting jacks when operated. It was then decided to freeze any further realignment of the LHC triplet magnet for the remainder of the run. Subsequently, a project team was set up at CERN to understand better the conditions leading to such unexpected behavior and to study and propose a technical consolidation for the realignment system of the LHC triplet magnet. A fully instrumented magnet string using LHC triplet spare magnets was assembled and used at CERN to provide a realistic test bench for this study. This paper reports on the work undertaken to study the triplet magnet overall realignment kinematic, the findings on the readjustment system malfunction and details the consolidation solution implemented for the next LHC run

  In the framework of the HL-LHC project, full-scale integration and operational tests of the superconducting magnet chain, from the inner triplet quadrupoles up to the first separation/recombination dipole, are planned in conditions as similar as possible to the final set-up in the LHC tunnel. The IT String includes all of the required systems for operation at nominal conditions, such as vacuum, cryogenics, warm and cold powering equipment, and protection systems. The IT String is intended to be both an assembly, and an integration test stand, and a full rehearsal of the systems working in unison. It will, closely reproducing the mechanical, electrical, and thermo-hydraulic interfaces of the final installation, as well as allowing a full rehearsal of the systems working in unison. This paper describes the conceptual design, the test stand’s reference configuration, and the main goals. It also summarizes the status of the main activities, including the detailed design of the test infrastructure, procurement of main equipment, the baseline installation schedule, and major milestones. The first version of the experimental program and the associated planning are also presented.
