Abstract

In the family of the High-Luminosity LHC high order correctors, the skew quadrupole was the most critical magnet as three assemblies with different solutions were needed to meet the design specifications. This paper summarizes the prototyping phase of the magnet, discussing the observed nonconformities, the subsequent root cause analyses, and the adopted solutions. A first-hand experience showed us the importance of adopting rigorous quality assurance methods for the electrical insulation, aimed at the early defect detection, and implementing a consistent measurement-to-simulations chain for the optimization of the coils mechanical support. The improvements discussed in the paper are integrated into the final magnet design for the series production of six skew quadrupole correctors.
