FIELD QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS IN SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETS FOR RHIC.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:777778
A number of techniques have been developed and tested to improve the field quality in the superconducting dipole and quadrupole magnets to be used in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). These include adjustment in the coil midplane gap to compensate for the allowed and non-allowed harmonics, inclusion of holes and cutouts in the iron yoke to reduce the saturation-induced harmonics, and magnetic tuning shims to correct for the residual errors. We compare the measurements with the calculations to test the validity of these concepts.
