Test Results for a High Field (13T) Nb3Sn Dipole
A Nb{sub 3}Sn dipole magnet (D20) has been designed, constructed, and tested at LBNL. Previously, they had reported test results from a hybrid design dipole which contained a similar inner Nb{sub 3}Sn and outer NbTi winding. This paper presents the final assembly characteristics and parameters which will be compared with those of the original magnet design. The actual winding size was determined and a secondary calibration of the assembly pre-load was done by pressure sensitive film. The actual azimuthal and radial D20 pre-loading was accomplished by a very controllable novel stretched wire technique. D20 reached 12.8T(4.4K) and 13.5T(1.8K) the highest dipole magnetic fields obtained to date in the world.
