“…Table 2 lists the main test systems present in SM18: magnets can be tested on multiples test benches down to 1.9 K either fully assembled in the form of complete cryo-magnets on horizontal test benches or as "naked" cold masses in recently installed vertical cryostats [8]. Cavities can also be tested as fully assembled cryo-modules or as "naked" cavities both at 4.5 K and 2 K [9].…”

Abstract. SM18 is CERN main facility for testing superconducting accelerator magnets and superconducting RF cavities. Its cryogenic infrastructure will have to be significantly upgraded in the coming years, starting in 2019, to meet the testing requirements for the LHC High Luminosity project and for the R&D program for superconducting magnets and RF equipment until 2023 and beyond. This article presents the assessment of the cryogenic needs based on the foreseen test program and on past testing experience. The current configuration of the cryogenic infrastructure is presented and several possible upgrade scenarios are discussed. The chosen upgrade configuration is then described and the characteristics of the main newly required cryogenic equipment, in particular a new 35 g/s helium liquefier, are presented. The upgrade implementation strategy and plan to meet the required schedule are then described.
