P. Wanderer et al., TECHNOLOGY-TRANSFER FOR INDUSTRIAL-PRODUCTION OF SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETS FOR THE RHIC PROJECT AT BNL, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 99(1-4), 1995, pp. 681-683
Industrial production of superconducting magnets for the Relativistic
Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has begun. The R&D for the magnets was carri
ed out at BNL. Following the award of build-to-print contracts, staff
from the laboratory and the vendors worked toward transferring both de
sign principles and practical details to an industrial framework for c
ost-effective production. All magnets made thus far have been acceptab
le for use in RHIC.
