The 1000th correction coil made in India for the LHC was handed over at a ceremony at the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) in Mumbai at the end of September. The small celebration took place during the 9th meeting of the DAE-CERN Joint Committee that follows the progress of the Indian “in-kind” contributions to the LHC. The many items India is providing for the LHC construction include the very valuable and important contribution of superconducting correction windings – 1232 sextupole windings and 616 octupole/decapole windings. Production in India is now running at full speed and in fact exceeds the planned rates.
