In this work, the main hardware design aspects of a slow-ramped DC/DC power converter prototype, developed to feed superconducting inner triplet (IT) electromagnets for the High Luminosity (HL) upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is presented. The proposal comprises a two-quadrant multiphase interleaved converter, based on the Series Capacitor Buck architecture, which operates at very high-current and high step-down ratio conditions. [...]

Complex Impedance of the LHC Main Dipole Magnet in the Presence of Artificial Short Circuits
/ Janitschke, M (CERN ; U. Rostock) ; Ravaioli, E (CERN) ; Verweij, A P (CERN) ; Willering, G (CERN) ; van Rienen, U (U. Rostock)
Interturn short circuits inside the coil-winding pack of superconducting magnets can lead to severe damage to the magnet during a quench or fast current ramps. Investigating their impact and finding ways to detect these nonconformities could save considerable run-time of an accelerator. [...]

Impact of high-intensity LHC beam operation on warm vacuum modules
/ Antuono, C (CERN) ; Krkotić, P (CERN) ; de la Fuente Garcia, E (CERN) ; Zannini, C (CERN) ; Calatroni, S (CERN) ; Baglin, V (CERN) ; Bregliozzi, G (CERN) ; Chiggiato, P (CERN) ; Galloro, A (CERN) ; Giacomel, L (CERN) et al.
During the third run of the Large Hadron Collider in 2023, which had the highest intensity bunch population compared to previous runs, a beam dump incident with operational delays occurred due to increased losses attributed to pressure spikes within a warm vacuum sector. Subsequent inspections revealed localized annealing and plasticization of the tension spring in the sliding contact radio frequency finger of a 212 mm diameter vacuum module, alongside traces of vapor deposition on the various module components with the stainless steel spring material.
