A magnet system for cryogenic Atomic Beam Source (ABS) having five sup
erconducting sextupoles has been designed, manufactured and tested to
get high intensity of polarized hydrogen/deuterium atomic beams. The b
eams will be used to fill the storage cell of the internal polarized t
arget at the VEPP-3 electron storage ring in Novosibirsk. The geometry
of the magnet system, results of the computations and measurements of
the magnetic field are presented. A 4.8 T pole tip magnetic field has
been measured for the magnet with an aperture of 44 mm. (C) 1998 Else
