A series of model SSC collider dipole magnets (50 mm apermre. 1.5 m magnetic length) are being built and tested at Fermilab. The early magnets have been built according to the Fennilab baseline design. The magnets are precursotx 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 measme 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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
