The nuclotron - A new technology of the synchrotron superconducting magnetsystem

Fundamental results obtained over the period of 1978-1999 on the basis of t he author's novel technical solutions are described. Experimental data on t ests of a new type of superconducting magnets for particle accelerators are given. The elements of the synchrotron magnetic optics have determined the feasibility of construction of the nuclotron, which is the first operating superconducting accelerator in Russia to provide beams of relativistic nuc lei with energies up to 6 GeV/nucleon. The new technology used in the nuclo tron allows one to radically simplify the design of superconducting magnet systems of accelerators and channels for particle transportation. The new m agnets are convenient to operate and are low in cost.
