Abstract
A 56 mm twin aperture model dipole magnet for the large hadron collide r has been built at CERN, The magnet design incorporates stainless ste el collars and a special yoke structure to minimize saturation-induced field errors, The magnet has proved to be the most successful model p rototype constructed so far. In the tests the design field of 10.0 Tes la was achieved with a record-short training, In this paper, the quenc h performance and the electromagnetic behavior of the magnet are prese nted and discussed.
