Testing the MQYYM superconducting magnet in the STAARQ station: multiple achievements

The STAARQ team has successfully commissioned the STAARQ test station, including the 1.9K cryogenic process. The team demonstrated at the same time exceptional performance from the MQYYM quadrupole magnet manufactured by IRFU for the HL-LHC project.

Ten years of intense collaborative work between the DACM and DIS teams at IRFU culminated during the summer of 2024 in the successful testing of the MQYYM mock-up superconducting magnet in the new quadrupole accelerator magnet test station, STAARQ.

SIRIUS, the faithful companion of S3

IRFU engineers and physicists and their collaborators have just completed the development of a modern Sirius, a key element of the super spectrometer separator (S³) under construction at GANIL.

The ancients understood that heroes, like Orion with Sirius, need their faithful companion. IRFU engineers and physicists and their collaborators are no exception to the rule and have just completed the development of a modern Sirius, a key element of the super spectrometer separator (S3) under construction at GANIL. The tests having been successful and the system has been moved to GANIL for its final installation.
