  SIS100, the worlds second large scale synchrotron for ion research, will use superferric magnets. The dipoles are of the window frame type, whose aperture was chosen as an optimum balance between the achievable field quality and AC losses at cryogenic temperatures. Analogous design optimisation was done for the quadrupole and corrector magnets as well. We present the design of the main magnets, estimate their operation parameters and define the crucial aspects to be experimentally analysed before series production, e.g. precise magnetic end field optimisation.

  SuperB is an asymmetric (6.7 GeV HER, 4.18 GeV LER) e+ e− collider operating at the Y(4S) peak with a design peak luminosity of 1036 Hz/cm2 to be built in Italy in the very near future. The design luminosity is almost a factor hundred higher than that of the present generation comparable facilities. To get the design luminosity a novel collision scheme, the so called “large Piwinski angle with crab waist”, has been designed. The scheme requires a short focus final doublet to reduce the vertical beta function down to betay*=0.2 mm at the interaction point (IP). The final doublet will be composed by a set of permanent and superconducting (SC) quadrupoles. The SC quadrupole doublets QD0/QF1 have to be placed as close to the IP as possible. This layout is critical because the space available for the doublets is very small. An advanced design of the quadrupole has been developed, based on the double helical coil concept. The paper discusses the design concept, the construction and the results of test of a model of the superconducting quadrupole based on NbTi technology. Future developments are also presented.

  For SuperKEKB, which is an upgrade project of KEKB, we are studying the design of the final focus quadrupole magnets for the interaction region. The 7 GeV electrons in the high-energy ring and the 4 GeV positrons in the low-energy ring collide at one IP with a finite crossing angle of 83 mrad. For each beam, the final beam focusing system consists of the superconducting quadrupole-doublets. These quadrupole magnets have to meet specifications described below. (1) Because of the small beam separation between two beam lines, the superconducting magnet is designed with thin coils and the conductor size is required to be minimized. (2) Since the beta functions are so large, a large space with a good field quality is required. (3) These magnets must apply the focusing fields on electrons and positrons, independent each other. The quadrupole magnets in the solenoid field of the particle detector are designed without an iron yoke. Consequently, the reduction of the leakage fields from the adjacent beam lines is a critical issue to achieve large dynamic aperture. In this paper we will report the design of final focusing system.

  The RCNP cyclotron cascade system consists of K140 AVF cyclotron and K400 ring cyclotron and is providing high quality beams for various experiments. There are increasing demands for high intensity beams and even to improve the quality. In order to increase the physics research opportunities, a new injector cyclotron is recently proposed, which has four separated sector magnets and two accelerating cavities. Sector magnets are designed to use High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) wire. At RCNP we have been developing magnets with HTS wires for a decade. In this paper, we will report recent results of developed HTS magnets and the design of sector magnets for the new injector SSC.

The IFMIF-EVEDA accelerator will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA CW deuteron accelerator which aims to validate the technology that will be used in the future IFMIF accelerator. The SRF Linac design is based on superconducting Half Wave Resonators (HWR) cavities operating at 4.4 K. Due to space charge associated to the high intensity beam, a short, but strong, superconducting focusing magnet package is necessary between cavities. The selected configuration has been a superconducting NbTi solenoid acting as a magnetic lens and a concentric outer solenoid in antiparallel configuration to reduce the dangerous stray field on the cavities. The selected arrangement for the steerers is a pair of parallel racetrack coils for each vertical and horizontal axis. This paper describes the manufacturing techniques of the different coils, and the test realized in warm and cold conditions, with special attention to the training test of the main solenoid, as the nominal working point in the load line is very high (86.2%).

  The Field Description of the Large Hadron Collider (FiDeL) model is a set of semi-empirical equations linking the magnets behaviours established from magnetic measurements to the magnetic properties of the machine observed through beam measurements. The FiDeL model includes the parameterization of static components such as magnets residual magnetization, persistent currents, hysteresis and saturation as well as the decay and snap-back dynamic components. In the present paper, we outline the relationship between the beam observables (orbit, tune, chromaticity) and the model components during the commissioning to higher beam intensities in 2010-2011, with an energy of 3.5 TeV per beam. The main relevant issues are (i) the operation at 2 A/s and 10 A/s ramp rate and their influence on chromatic correction, (ii) the beta beating and its relation to the knowledge of the resistive quadrupoles transfer functions and (iii) the observed tune decay at injection energy and its possibles origins.

The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is an international effort sited at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, which will demonstrate ionization cooling in a segment of a realistic cooling channel using a muon beam. A pair of identical, 3-m long spectrometer solenoids will provide a 4-tesla uniform field region at each end of the cooling channel. The emittance of the beam as it enters and exits the cooling channel will be measured within the 400 mm diameter magnet bores. The magnets incorporate a three-coil spectrometer magnet section and a two-coil section that matches the solenoid uniform field into the MICE cooling channel. The cold mass, radiation shield and leads are kept cold by means of a series of two-stage cryocoolers and one single-stage cryocooler. Previous testing of the magnets had revealed several operational issues related to heat leak and quench protection. A quench analysis using Vector Fields software and detailed heat leak calculations have been carried out in order to assess and improve the magnet design. Details of the analyses and resulting magnet design modifications along with an update of the magnet assembly and testing progress will be presented here.
