SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET DEVELOPMENT FOR COMPACT STORAGE RINGS

THIS PROJECT WILL STUDY AND DEVELOP A TYPE OF HIGH FIELD SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET FOR POSITRON-ELECTRON COLLIDERS, DAMPING RINGS FOR THE NEXT LINEAR COLLIDER, AND A COMPACT SYNCHROTRON LIGHT SOURCE WITH X-RAY ENERGIES BETWEEN 15 AND 33 KEV. THE PHASE I STUDY WILL IDENTIFY A SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET CONFIGURATION THAT WILL SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS OF A DIPOLE MAGNET OF A COMPACT STORAGE RING BASED ON THE VOBLY DESIGN AND TEST THE SUITABILITY OF THIS MAGNET IN A SPECIFIC STORAGE RING EXAMPLE. THE CONFIGURATION WILL CONSIST OF THE GEOMETRY OF THE IRON POLES, THE SHAPE AND LOCATIONS OF THE COILS, THE REQUIRED RELATIONSHIPS OF THE CURRENTS IN THE INDEPENDENT COILS, AND THE MAGNETIC MULTIPOLE FUNCTIONS AS A FUNCTION OF POSITION AND CURRENTS. IN ADDITION TO MAGNET DESIGN STUDIES, THE EFFORT WILL ALSO CONSIDER OTHER ASPECTS OF THE STORAGE RING INCLUDING THE LATTICE, QUADRUPOLES, VACUUM, RADIO FREQUENCY, AND INJECTION SYSTEMS. A PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE OF THE MAGNET COST AND STORAGE RING COST WILL BE MADE.
