Horizontal test benches

Horizontal test benches

After the test bench reconstitution project, the ten horizontal test benches are optimized for HL-LHC compatibility without losing the possibility of testing spare LHC main dipoles and quadrupoles. The test benches compatibility is summarized in the following table:
