Last magnet lowered today

The 53rd and final magnet for the Sector 3-4 repairs will be lowered into the tunnel this afternoon, marking the end of surface work for the direct repair of the LHC. The magnet, a short straight section (SSS) quadrupole magnet, will start its descent at 4:00pm and will be transported to Sector 3-4 and installed in position during the evening.
