At the end of October we received two more magnets from Fermilab (CA03 and CA05). With these deliveries, half of the units from the US are at CERN! They join the other three magnets already received: CA01 and CA02 for the IT String, and CA04.
After the testing of CA04 at CERN and CA03 at Fermilab confirming they are both conform, the first Q1 and Q3 magnets (the first and fourth quadrupoles from the interaction point of the new inner triplet of the HL-LHC) are qualified for installation.
