Abstract
The design of superconducting quadrupoles for a proton and antiproton low beta section and the test of a prototype coil are presented. Previous studies [1,2] show that high gradient and short quadrupole magnets are required for a compact low beta section in order to allow the insertion of such a magnetic system with minor changes of the lattice [3]; each quadrupole is 400 mm long and has to provide a magnetic induction gradient of 60 T/m. A beam pipe of at least 120 mm diameter is required to avoid beam loss during injection and before the beam cooling. The magnetic design of the superconducting magnets for the low beta section is presented, together with a detailed discussion of the quench protection design. Two prototype coils were produced and one of them was tested. A detailed description of the test setup and a full discussion of the results will be presented.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
