High Energy Booster Quadrupole Cold Mass Development and Industrialization Program

The department DAPNIA of the CEA Saclay has been involved in High Energy Physics for several decades, working on projects such as Detectors, Superconducting magnets (STCM), Thermonuclear Fusion machine (TORE SUPRA [1]) and accelerator magnets. Considerable research and development effort have gone into the design and production of quadrupole magnets for HERA [2], and, over the last two years, for LHC [3].
