Tests of Fermilab built 40 mm aperture full length SSC dipole magnets

Several 40 mm aperture, 17 m long dipoles have been built by Fermilab as developmental prototypes for the Superconducting Super Collider. These magnets differ from those manufactured at Brookhaven National Laboratory in that they have an external inner-outer coil splice design, a collet style end clamp assembly, a new, analytically designed minimum stress coil end design, and a new insulation system which does not employ shims or shoes''. In addition, the magnets were built using production-style tooling. The magnets were tested at the Fermilab Magnet Testing Facility. Quench testing and mechanical measurement results are presented and analyzed with emphasis on the new design and fabrication features of these magnets. 13 refs., 5 figs

Construction and test results from 15 m-long, 50 mm aperture SSC Collider Dipole models

Construction details, assembly data, coil stress and end force measurements are reported with quench data for the initial full-length SSC model dipoles with 50 mm aperture being built at BNL

Magnetic design and field quality measurements for full length 50 mm aperture SSC model dipoles built at BNL

Field quality measurements of five 15 m-long, 50-mm aperture SSC R & D collider dipoles made at BNL are reported. Data include the multipole coefficients and dipole angle over the full operating range of the SSC. The variation of quench current with ramp rate is also presented

Experiments with all-Kapton insulation and axial prestress in 1. 8 m-long SSC R D magnets

Several 1.8 m-long magnets have been built to evaluate possible variations in the design of the SSC collider dipoles. Except for length and the parameters being tested, these models have the features of 40 mm aperture collider dipoles, which are based on a two-layer cosine theta coil. In these magnets, we have tested all-Kapton cable insulation and the effects of changes in the axial coil prestress. Construction details and test results for quenching, field harmonics, and coil loading are reported. 5 refs., 7 figs
