Upgrade of the Arc Interconnection Verification System for the Large Hadron Collider

Abstract

This article presents the design and construction of a new version of an automated, highly efficient system for validation of connections between superconducting magnets in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Genève, Switzerland.The design of the new version is based on the existing comprehensive system for electrical measurements and is its integral part. The new system is dedicated to perform multi channel resistance measurements and is to be used during machine assembly and magnets replacement.
