Development of the Superconducting Quadrupole Magnet for the SuperKEKB Final Focusing System

We have developed the superconducting final-focus quadrupoles for SuperKEKB, the next generation B-factory experiment in Japan. The system consists of four quadrupole doublets for incoming and outgoing electron and positron beams, respectively. A R&D superconducting quadrupole magnet was fabricated. In this paper, we describe the results on the excitation test and the magnetic field measurements of this R&D magnet.
