Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC03-76SF00098. Pushing accelerator magnets beyond 10T holds a promise of future upgrades to machines like the Tevatron at FermiLab and the LHC at CERN. Exhausting the current density limits of NbTi, superconductor, Nb3Sn is at the present time the only practical superconductor capable of generating fields beyond 10T. Several Nb3Sn pilot magnets, with fields as high as 16T, have been built and tested, paving the way for future attempts at fields approaching 20T. The combination of high current density and the required high magnetic fields has resulted in reduced conductor volume and significantly increased the accumulated Lorentz forces. Future coil and structure designs will be required to deal with stresses of several 100’s of MPa and forces of 10’s of MN/m. The combined engineering requirements on size and cost of accelerator magnets will require a magnet technology that diverges from the one currently used with NbTi conductor. How far can the engineering of high field magnets be pushed, what are the issues and limitations, and what tools will we need before such magnets can be used in particle accelerators. In this paper we shall address such issues and attempt to provide possible answers. |

| TOAA002 | U.S. Accelerator Contribution to the LHC | 184 |
|
||
| In 1998, the United States entered into an agreement with CERN to help build the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), with contributions to the accelerator and to the large HEP detectors. To accomplish this, the US LHC Accelerator Project was formed, encompassing expertise from Brookhaven National Laboratory, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Contributions from the US LHC Accelerator project included superconducting high gradient quadrupoles and beam separation dipoles for the four interaction regions and the RF section; feedboxes for cryogenic, power and instrumentation distribution; neutral and hadron beam absorbers in the high luminosity regions; design of the inner triplet cryogenic system; beam tracking studies utilizing the design IR magnet field quality and magnet alignment; particle heat deposition studies in the IR’s; and short sample characterization of superconducting cables used in the arc dipoles and quadrupoles. This report is a summary of these contributions including the progress towards project completion, as well as a discussion of future plans for US participation in the LHC accelerator. | ||
| TOAA003 | Survey of Superconducting Insertion Devices for Light Sources | 256 |
|
||
| The first Superconducting Insertion devices were designed, fabricated and installed on electron storage rings more than 25 years ago for generation of synchrotron radiation. For these years wide experience of manufacturing and use of such superconducting insertion devices as superconducting wave length shifters, multipolar wigglers and undulators is accumulated. Review of various types of Superconducting Insertion Devices for Light Sources is given in the report. Their basic characteristics as SR sources are discussed. | ||
| TOAA004 | Field Quality Study in Nb3Sn Accelerator Magnets | 366 |
|

Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. High field accelerator magnets are being developed at Fermilab for present and next generation hadron colliders. These magnets are designed for a nominal field of 10-12 T in the magnet bore of 40-50 mm and an operating temperature of 4.5 K. To achieve these design parameters, a new, high-performance Nb3Sn superconducting strand is used. Four short Nb3Sn dipole models of the same design based on a single-bore cos-theta coil and a cold iron yoke have been fabricated and tested at Fermilab. Their field quality was measured at room temperature during magnet fabrication and at helium temperature. This paper reports the results of warm and cold magnetic measurements. The systematic geometrical harmonics and their RMS spread due to cross-section imperfections, the coil magnetization effects caused by persistent currents in superconductor and eddy current in the cable, the "snap-back" effect at injection and the iron saturation effect at high fields are presented and compared with theoretical predictions. |

| TOAA005 | Field Quality Optimization of Superconducting Quadrupoles for the HCX Experiment | |
|

Funding: Supported by the Office of Energy Research, US DOE, at LBNL and LLNL under contract numbers DE-AC03-76SF00098, W-7405-Eng-48, and at MIT under contract number DE-FC02-93-ER54186. The High Current Experiment (HCX) is exploring the physics of intense beams with high line-charge density. Superconducting focusing quadrupoles are being developed for future magnetic transport studies at the HCX. A baseline design was selected following the testing of several pre-series models. Optimization of the baseline design led to the development of a first prototype in 2003. This magnet achieved a conductor-limited gradient of 132 T/m in a 70 mm bore without training, with measured field errors at the 0.1% level. Based on these results, both the magnet geometry and the fabrications procedures were modified to further improve the field quality. These modifications were implemented in a second prototype. In this paper, comparisons between the design harmonics and magnetic measurements performed on the new prototype will be presented and discussed. |

| TOAA006 | Development of Superconducting Combined Function Magnets for the Proton Transport Line for the J-PARC Neutrino Experiments | 495 |
|
||
| A second generation of long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments has been proposed as one of the main projects at J-PARC jointly built by JAERI and KEK. Superconducting combined function magnets, SCFMs, will be utilized for the 50 GeV, 750 kW proton beam line for the neutrino experiment and an R&D program is in underway at KEK. The magnet is designed to provide a combined function of a dipole field of 2.6 T with a quadrupole field of 19 T/m in a coil aperture of 173.4 mm. A series of 28 magnets in the beam line will be operated DC in supercritical helium cooling below 5 K. A design feature of the SCFM is the left-right asymmetry of the coil cross section: current distributions for superimposed dipole- and quadrupole- fields are combined in a single layer coil. Another design feature is the adoption of glass-fiber reinforced phenolic plastic spacers to replace the conventional metallic collars. To evaluate this unique design, fabrication of full-scale prototype magnets is in progress at KEK and the first prototype will be tested at cold soon. This paper will report the development of the SCFMs. | ||
| TOAA007 | SNS Injection and Extraction Devices | 553 |
|

Funding: SNS is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. Department of Energy. SNS is a partnership of six national laboratories: Argonne, Brookhaven, Jefferson, Lawrence Berkeley, Los Alamos, and Oak Ridge. The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is a second generation pulsed neutron source (1.5 MW) and is presently in the sixth year of a seven-year construction cycle at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The operation of the facility will begin in 2006. The most stringent requirement for the SNS accelerator complex is to allow hands-on maintenance. Operational experiences show that the most losses occur in the injection and extraction. SNS accumulator ring injection and extraction has been design with grate care to reduce uncontrolled losses. Injection systems consist of fast programmable kicker magnets and DC dump magnets to paint the beam in transverse phase space. Extraction systems consist of fast kicker magnets and a Lamberton magnet to extract beam in single turn. Paper will discuss design, construction and testing of these devices. |

Funding: SNS is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. Department of Energy. SNS is a partnership of six national laboratories: Argonne, Brookhaven, Jefferson, Lawrence Berkeley, Los Alamos, and Oak Ridge. The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) contains more than 600 magnets. Among them, about 400 magnets for the Linac and transfer lines are being measured on site at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These magnets include Permanent Magnet Quadrupoles, Electro-magnetic Quadrupoles, Dipoles and Correctors. The Permanent Magnet Quadrupoles are installed in the Drift Tube Linac (DTL) and are the only Permanent Magnets in the machine. These measurements are for magnets installed in the DTL, Coupled Cavity Linac (CCL), Superconducting Linac (SCL), High Energy Beam Transport (HEBT), and the Ring to Target Beam Transport (RTBT) line. All magnets have met specifications. Approximately three fourths of the magnets have so far been measured and installed. This presentation outlines the magnet measurements for SNS at ORNL and overviews the activities and accomplishments to date. |

| TOAA009 | Recent Test Results of the Fast-Pulsed 4 T COSO Dipole GSI 001 | 683 |
|
||
| For the FAIR-project at GSI a model dipole was built at BNL with the nominal field of 4 T and a nominal ramp rate of 1 T/s. The magnet design was similar to the RHIC dipole with some changes for loss reduction and better cooling. The magnet was already successfully tested in a vertical cryostat with good training behaviour. Cryogenic losses were measured and first results of field harmonics were published. However, for a better understanding of the cooling process quench currents at several ramp rates were investigated. Detailed measurements of the field harmonics at different ramp rates and at several cycles were performed. To separate the effects of the coil and the iron yoke the magnet was disassembled and tested as collared coil only. Recent test results will be presented. | ||
| TOAA010 | Serpentine Coil Topology for BNL Direct Wind Superconducting Magnets | 737 |
|
||
|
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy under contract DE-AC-02-98-CH10886. BNL direct wind technology, with the conductor pattern laid out without need for extra tooling (no collars, coil presses etc.) began with RHIC corrector production. RHIC patterns were wound flat and then wrapped on cylindrical support tubes. Later for the HERA-II IR magnets we improved conductor placement precision by winding directly on a support tube. To meet HERA-II space and field quality goals took sophisticated coil patterns, (some wound on tapered tubes). We denote such patterns, topologically equivalent to RHIC flat windings, "planar patterns." Multi-layer planar patterns run into trouble because it is hard to wind across existing turns and magnet leads get trapped at poles. So we invented a new "Serpentine" winding style, which goes around 360 degrees while the conductor winds back and forth on the tube. To avoid making solenoidal fields, we wind Serpentine layers in opposite handed pairs. With a Serpentine pattern each turn can have the same projection on the coil axis and integral field harmonics then closely follow the 2D cross section. This and other special Serpentine coils properties are discussed in this paper and applied to a variety of direct wind magnet projects. |
