The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is under construction at CERN. Most of its 27 km underground tunnel will be filled with superconducting magnets, mainly 15 m long dipoles and 3.3 m long quadrupoles. In total 1248 dipole and 400 quadrupole magnets will be built (including spares), all wound with copper stabilized NbTi Rutherford cables and designed to operate in superfluid helium at 1.9 K. The dipoles operative field is 8.3 T, the system being designed for possible operation up to 9 T (ultimate…
