Review of SSC Dipole Magnet Mechanics and Quench Performance

Conference ·
Eight 5-cm-aperture, 15-m-long dipole magnet prototypes have been produced and cold-tested at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) under contract with the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory (SSCL). These magnets are the last phase of an R&D program aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of the 5-cm-aperture designs developed by BNL and FNAL. They are also used as vehicles to transfer technology from the National Laboratories to the collider dipole magnet contractors. The BNL magnets, which rely on horizontally-split yoke, and the FNAL magnets, which rely on vertically-split yoke, perform according to their somewhat different mechanical designs and have equally successful quench performance.
