The technology of producing reliable superconducting dipoles at Fermilab
Abstract
During the last few months several full size prototype dipole magnets for the Fermilab Energy Doubler have been successfully tested. This has been the result of several concurrent programs in conductor development as well as magnet construction, production and testing. Present magnets are considered to have achieved their design goal. Progress to this point has solved many pitfalls. The paper describes present technology as well as some of the decisions that led to the present design.
