SUPERFERRIC CORRECTION MAGNETS FOR THE SSC 1990 APPLIED SUPERCONDUCTIVITY CONFERENCE (ASC 90)

The Texas Accelerator Center has constructed four models of a superferric correction quadrupole magnet for possible use in the SSC. One of them was already tested. The design incorporates a coil winding process developed at Multiwire, Inc. and Brookhaven National Laboratory. This process uses ultrasonic energy to accurately adhere a kapton-wrapped superconducting wire in a race track configuration onto a substrate material 0.010 cm thick. The substrate is subsequently rolled around a frame in much the same way that a jelly roll is made. The use of iron to shape the field improves efficiency and provides a coil package preload. This paper provides design parameters and performance data for the quadrupole magnet.
