Lamination and end pack design studies of SSC low energy booster magnet prototypes
The SSC Laboratory plans to deploy two ``large`` detectors for the essential high-energy physics experiments at the initial startup of the collider. The GEM detector is optimized to emphasize precise measurement of photons and electrons, as well as precise tracking of high-energy muons. An essential part of the GEM detector is the magnet subsystem, which provides the magnetic field necessary for identification and high-resolution tracking of charged particles. This large superconducting magnet system, with ferromagnetic field-shapers, presents a variety of engineering challenges in superconductor technology, in magnet-winding technology, fabrication, assembly and installation of large and heavy components, and in ensuring the required high operating availability.
