TL;DR: The LHCb experiment is dedicated to precision measurements of CP violation and rare decays of B hadrons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (Geneva).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the magnet requirements, the reasons for selecting the design, the technological challenges with respect to previous projects, and summarize the steps that have been taken to validate the baseline.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors outline the strategy that has been defined to address the possible sources of performance limitation, namely coil manufacturing, magnet assembly and integration in the cold mass, and identify fractured Nb3Sn sub-elements in strands located at one specific position of the inner layer pole turn.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present the design of six cryostats with various lengths in the range of 8 to 11 m are required on each side of the interaction points to house the triplet magnets, correctors and the first separation dipole.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present an overview of the main achievements obtained so far and outline the technical points still needing validation from the prototype program, including the most challenging magnet, the Nb3Sn quadrupole with conductor peak field above 11 T.
