Abstract

The High-Luminosity project (HL-LHC) of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), requires low $\beta$∗ quadrupole magnets in Nb $_\text{3}$Sn technology that will be installed on each side of the ATLAS and CMS experiments. After a successful short-model magnet manufacture and test campaign, the project has advanced with the production, assembly, and test of full-size 7.15-m-long magnets. In the last two years, two CERN-built prototypes (MQXFBP1 and MQXFBP2) have been tested and magnetically measured at the CERN SM18 test facility. These are the longest accelerator magnets based on Nb $_\text{3}$Sn technology built and tested to date. In this paper, we present the test and analysis results of these two magnets, with emphasis on quenches and training, voltage-current measurements and the quench localization with voltage taps and a new quench antenna.
