The first 600m of the cryogenic distribution line to supply superfluid helium to the superconducting magnets at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN have passed initial testing at room and cryogenic temperatures. Also, the number of magnets installed in the tunnel passed the 100 mark, and several major contracts related to their construction have been successfully completed. The tests of the cryogenic line, the first to be implemented at close to eventual operating conditions in the LHC tunnel, were done in a section where technical problems were discovered during initial installation in Summer 2004.
