Mechanical, thermal and electromagnetic design of a superconducting quadrupole for the SSC

As part of a collaboration with the SSC, CEA/Saclay has designed superconducting quadrupole magnet for the High Energy Booster ring. A number of prototypes are being built at Saclay, after which the production will be handed over to an American firm. This paper presents the mechanical, thermal and electromagnetic analyses which have been performed during the design of the magnet.<
