Overview of the LHC Low-beta Triplets R. Ostojic CERN, AT Department
LHC Insertions Experimental insertions in points 1, 2, 5, 8 contain low-beta triplets. In total, eight triplets are installed.
The LHC low-b triplet D1 Q3 Q2 Q1 DFBX TASB LBX DFBX MQXA MQXB MQXB MQXA 6.37 5.5 5.5 6.37 MCSOX MCBXA MQSX MCBX MCBX Triplets were designed and built by a collaboration of five laboratories: BNL, CERN, Fermilab, KEK, LBNL. IR 1 and 5, D1 is a normal conducting dipole.

Design specifications and documents • All design specifications and solutions are documented in the functional and interface specifications. These documents were released following collaboration meetings and independent reviews, and after a formal review procedure in the CERN EDMS. (EDMS documents: LHC-LQX-ES%, LHC-DFBX-ES%, LHC-MBX-ES%). • Acceptance procedures for all magnets and DFBX are defined in appropriate Acceptance Plans, also formally reviewed in CERN EDMS. (EDMS documents: LHC-LQX-TP%, LHC-DFBX-ES-0001, LHC-MBX-ES-0003). • Safety related procedures and documents were reviewed by competent bodies in participating laboratories following the Memoranda of Understanding.
