Capable of better tracking the position of cold masses inside their cryostat, the new technique tested at Fermilab will equip all the HL-LHC's triplet quadrupoles and crab cavities.

With its first major equipment now in place and infrastructure nearly installed, HL-LHC’s test bed is on track to start operation in 2024.

Novel cryostat units have been installed for the High-Luminosity LHC to allow insertion of room-temperature collimators in the LHC’s 1.9 K cryostats.
