6. 4 tesla dipole magnet for the SSC. Revision

A design is presented for a dipole magnet suitable for the proposed SSC facility. Test results are given for model magnets of this design 1 m long and 4.5 m long. Flattened wedge-shaped cables (''keystoned'') are used in a graded, two-layer ''cos theta'' configuration with three wedges to provide sufficient field uniformity and mechanical rigidity. Stainless steel collars 15 mm in radial depth, fastened with rectangular keys, provide structural support, and there is a ''cold'' iron flux return. The outer-layer cable has 30 strands of 0.648 mm diameter NbTi multifilamentary wire with Cu/S.C. = 1.8, and the inner has 23 strands of 0.808 mm diameter wire with Cu/S.C. = 1.3. Performance data are given, including training behavior, winding stresses, collar deformation, and field uniformity. 10 refs., 11 figs.
