Abstract

A low-current saddle-type quadrupole magnet using very similar cable and design criteria as its companion dipole [1] has been built and tested in a vertical cryostat. The low current is achieved by taking the 15 film-insulated strands of a cable and connecting them in series. With currents of approximately 250 to 350 A, it becomes economically possible to use a separate power supply for each of the magnets in the beamline. Magnet parameters are given in Table I.
