Goal of Hi-Lumi upgrade:
Reduce * by stronger and larger aperture quadrupole magnets located near thecollision points (low- triplet quadrupoles). Increase of Bp that can be transformed inhigher quadrupole gradient or/and larger bore diameter

POWERING CONFIGURATION OF THE HIGH LUMINOSITY –NEW- INNER TRIPLETS
D1 at P1 and P5: resistive magnetQ1, Q2 and Q3: four leads, each rated at 7500 A
Corrector magnets: 120 A (dipole) and 600 A (sextupole)
resistive magnet superconducting magnet, I 10 kA four leads, each rated at 7500 A eight to four leads, each rated up to 15 kA
Individual powering of each circuit ?
Nested powering, e.g. one main power converter plus current trimming on each magnet ?
Split powering, e.g. Q1 in series with Q2a and Q3 in series with Q2b ?
Need for energy extraction via warm resistors of each individual magnet, i.e. need for safety leads and additional superconducting cables in the cold bus ?
Time constant of the circuits and amount of stabilizer in the cables ?
