A six-tesla superconducting dipole magnet design and development program for POPAE

POPAE, the proposed Proton-Proton Intersecting Storage Ring Facility at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, will require some 1400 superconducting 6.0 T DC dipole and quadrupole magnets. The dipoles are 6. 17 m long and consist of coils of rectangular cross section clamped directly onto the 6 cm inner diameter bore tube. Aluminum is used to support the coils, and they are wound from a rectangular monolithic 2:1 copper to NbTi filamentary conductor. An experimental program has been undertaken to test and select the size, type and internal support scheme of the conductor. Individual coils of the POPAE dipole design, foreshortened to 0.5 m but supported similarly to the full-sized magnet are being tested in the field of a 2. 0 T backing magnet modeled after the Argonne SSR magnets. We also describe the large-scale cryogenics installation needed for the facility.
