A new magnet for the LHC mock-up

This year, the safety training centre on the Prévessin site acquired a mock-up of the LHC, which simulates the work and safety conditions in the tunnel.

A new dummy quadrupole has just been added to the magnet chain, making the mock-up even more realistic. The new facility, which was a joint endeavour by the TE, GS, BE and EN Departments, will significantly improve the quality of the various training courses held at the centre, particularly the course on the use of self-rescue masks.
