Title: Recent R&D Model Results on an Improved SSC Dipole Magnet

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1000357· OSTI ID:1000357

Models of the 6.6T, 40 mm bore dipole magnet for the SSC have been built in 1-m and 4.5 m lengths; recently, full length 17 m models have been built. These models use a 3-wedge cross section and stainless steel collars. Recent R and D results at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory aimed at improvements in current density and field uniformity are described; a 4-wedge cross section has been tested. Also, progress has been made toward elimination of magnet training and understanding of internal coil stresses.
