D. Fisher et al., Successful partnership between Brookhaven National Laboratory and NorthropGrumman Corp. for construction of RHIC superconducting magnets, IEEE APPL S, 10(1), 2000, pp. 183-187
This paper summarizes the structure and execution (or 'history') of the con
tract between the RHIC Project at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the No
rthrop Grumman Corporation for construction of the 8 cm aperture supercondu
cting dipoles needed for RHIC. A total of 373 dipoles were built for a cont
racted price of $43 M. Two smaller contracts for RHIC superconducting magne
ts are also discussed.
