Accelerator Project Upgrade for the LHC (APUL)

The dipoles required in the Intersection Regions (IRs) of the LHC have field and aperture requirements close to those of the RHIC arc dipole magnets. Thus the superconducting coils developed for those magnets can be used in a cost-effective dipole design that satisfies CERN’s requirements. Under the auspices of the US/CERN LHC Collaboration, the required magnets will be built at BNL.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit applied science and technology organization.
