Commisioning of Facility for Assembling and Tests of Superconducting Magnets

The NICA accelerator complex will consist of two injector chains, the new 600 MeV/u superconducting (SC) booster synchrotron, the existing SC synchrotron Nuclotron, and the new SC collider having two rings each of 503 m in circumference. The building construction of the new test facility for simultaneous cryogenic testing of the SC magnets on 6 benches is completed at the Laboratory of High Energy Physics. Premises with an area of 2600 m2 were prepared, equipment for magnets assembly and tests are installed. Three helium satellite refrigerators with each capacity of 100 W were commissioned 2 of 6 test benches for magnets testing are assembled and commissioned. NICA booster magnets fist cryogenic tests are done. The results are discussed.
