Design of A Model Dipole Magnet for the SSC High Energy Booster

Abstract

A superconducting model dipole magnet has been designed to serve as a vehicle in an R&D program to develop a dipole magnet for potential use in the SSC High Energy Booster. The objective has been to use the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) 50 mm aperture dipole designs to the maximum possible extent for design of a dipole magnet with the same size aperture and a field intensity of 6.67 T. Objectives of this program have also included an evaluation of magnet cross section designs which provides increased margin and includes a field quality iteration on BNL and FNAL dipole designs. The salient parameters of this magnet are listed in Table 1. In this paper the 2D magnetic and mechanical design of the cold mass in conceptual and detail form is presented.
