TL;DR: The High Luminosity (HiLumi) Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project has, as the main objective, to increase the LHC peak luminosity by a factor five and the integrated luminosity, which will be achieved mainly with a new interaction region layout which will allow a stronger focusing of the colliding beams as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the HL-LHC low-β quadrupole design, based on the experience gathered by the US LARP program, and describe the support structure components to preload the coils, withstand the electro-magnetic forces, provide alignment and LHe containment, and integrate the cold mass in the LHC IRs.

TL;DR: In this article, a new test facility for measuring the electrical properties of the LHC superconducting cables was constructed at CERN, with the main features being: independently cooled background magnet, test currents up to 32 kA, temperature between 1.8 and 4.5 K, long measurement length of 60 cm, field perpendicular or parallel to the cable face, measurement of the current distribution between the strands.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the cable treatment has on the contact resistance was discussed under various conditions and the properties of resistive barriers, the DC method used for the resistance measurement on the cable, and sample preparation were described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Nb3Sn dipole magnet FRESCA2 is presented as a superconducting high field magnet for the European Project EuCARD, and specifically of the high field model task.
