Design and Assembly of a Large-Aperture Nb3Sn Cos-Theta Dipole Coil With Stress Management in Dipole Mirror Configuration

Journal Article · · IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity
The stress-management cos-theta (SMCT) coil is a new concept which has been proposed and is being developed at Fermilab in the framework of US Magnet Development Program (US-MDP) for high-field and/or large-aperture accelerator magnets based on low-temperature and high-temperature superconductors. The SMCT structure is used to reduce large coil deformations under the Lorentz forces and, thus, the excessively large strains and stresses in the coil. A large-aperture Nb3 Sn SMCT dipole coil has been developed and fabricated at Fermilab to demonstrate and test the SMCT concept including coil design, fabrication technology and performance. The first SMCT coil has been assembled with 60-mm aperture Nb3 Sn coil inside a dipole mirror configuration and will be tested separately and in series with the insert coil. Here this paper summarizes the large-aperture SMCT coil design and parameters and reports the coil fabrication steps and its assembly in dipole mirror configuration.
