Abstract
The Magnet Test Laboratory (MTL) at the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory (SSCL), presently under construction at the N15 site west of Waxahachie, will be used to cold test superconducting magnets prior to their installation in the high energy booster (HEB) and the main ring of the collider. This paper describes this facility, the activities and apparatus planned for use within it, and the schedule for completion and phasing in of the operating facility. More detailed information regarding the physical facility and its functional requirements is given in References 1 and 2. Additional references are given within this paper to apparatus that has been designed for use in the MTL and that may be of interest to those building similar facilities.
Operated by the Universities Research Association, Inc, for the U. S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC35-89ER40486.
