| Abstract | The MQXFB magnets are superconducting quadrupoles with nominal peak field on the conductor of 11.3 T. With their magnetic length of 7.2 m, they stand as the longest Nb3Sn accelerator magnets designed and manufactured up to now. Together with the companion MQXFA 4.2 m long units, built by the US Accelerator Research Program, they are at the heart of HL-LHC, as they shall replace the inner triplet quadrupoles at either side of the ATLAS and CMS interaction regions of the LHC. This technology has benefited from many years of development, and this specific design was validated with successful short models (MQXFS, 1.2 m long). More recently, several MQXFA magnets were shown to satisfy HL-LHC requirements. In this paper, we report on the cold test results of four MQXFB magnets, focusing on performance, training, behavior after thermal and powering cycles, and field quality. We then provide an update of the overall status, including ongoing verifications of design changes at the level of the coil fabrication. |
