TL;DR: In this paper, a powder-in-tube (PIT) strand was successfully developed for the Next European Dipole (NED) program, and extensive heat treatment optimization studies were performed to maximize both critical current and RRR, with a plateau temperature down to 625degC and duration up to 400 hours.

TL;DR: The Next European Dipole (NED) activity as discussed by the authors was launched on January 1st, 2004 to promote the development of high-performance, Nb/sub 3/Sn wires in collaboration with European industry.

TL;DR: CERN and INFN, Italy, have signed an agreement for RD the fringe field analysis; the magnet powering and quench protection; mechanical and construction main choices as mentioned in this paper, which is the first agreement between the two organizations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main features of the corrector magnet are reviewed, from the development of suitable solutions for the winding and impregnation to the quality assessment on the series coils, including the results of the first cryogenic tests on a single coil.

TL;DR: In this article, the cold test results of the first prototype of the octupole and the decapole are presented, including the training performed at 4.2 k and the qualification at 2.2 K.
