Abstract

A series of model SSC collider dipole magnets (50 mm aperture, 1.5 m magnetic length) are being built and tested at Fermilab. The early magnets have been built according to the Fermilab baseline design. The magnets are precursors to the full length 15 m models to be used in the Accelerator Systems String Test at the SSCL. All magnets are instrumented with voltage taps for quench localization and with strain gages to measure stresses and deflections in the coil and support structure. Measurements are made during assembly, cooldown, excitation, and warmup. Comparisons are made between data and design expectations, and magnet behavior is correlated with changes in the magnet design and assembly methods.
