COLDEX (COLD bore EXperiment), installed in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN, is a test vacuum sector used in 2001-2004 to validate the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) cryogenic vacuum system with LHC type proton beams.

Abstract
COLDEX (COLD bore EXperiment), installed in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN, is a test vacuum sector used in 2001-2004 to validate the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) cryogenic vacuum system with LHC type proton beams. In the framework of the R&D for the High Luminosity upgrade of the LHC (HL-LHC), COLDEX has been re-commissioned in 2014. The objective is the validation of the performance of amorphous carbon (a-C) coating at cryogenic temperature with LHC type beams. The existing COLDEX Cu beam screen has been therefore dismounted and carbon coated, while a complete overhaul of the vacuum, cryogenic and control systems has been carried out. This contribution describes the phases of recommissioning, reviews the current experimental set-up and gives an overview of the possible measurements with COLDEX, in view of its HL-LHC experimental program.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
