An important step for the installation of the new HL-LHC cryogenic distribution line (QXL) was achieved during the last week of July and the first two weeks of August: the test installation of two pipe elements of QXL in the HL-LHC UR15 gallery at Point 1, carried out by the QXL contractor in collaboration with CERN teams.
