A. Koski et Sl. Wipf, COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN STUDY FOR AN ACCELERATOR DIPOLE IN THE RANGE OF 15-20-T, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 32(4), 1996, pp. 2159-2162
A superconducting accelerator dipole design based on the use of tape c
onductors in the high held region would open possibilities to reach ma
gnetic flux densities in the range of 15-20 T. The unconventional geom
etry of the designed magnet avoids many problems encountered in the pr
esently much used dipole cross-section of intersecting ellipses. The u
se of thin tape conductor is made possible by carefully optimizing the
cross-sectional geometry of the coils. A design study of a 15 T magne
t is presented and the required conductor characteristics to realize t
his concept are discussed.
