Alternate coil configurations for a superconducting quadrupole

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7363336· OSTI ID:7363336

Two superconducting quadrupole coil designs of the cos 2θ type are compared. One is a four-layer coil configuration, based on a relatively narrow braid conductor; the other consists of a single layer wound from a wider conductor. Field computation and excitation requirements are presented, taking into account saturation of the circular iron shield surrounding the coils.
