Design and Experiment of the BEPCII IR Conventional Dual Aperture Quadrupole

The quadrupole magnet Q1a is one of the final horizontal focus quadrupoles for the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider Interaction Region (BEPCII IR). The BEPCII IR lattice design specification calls for a very high field quality for the quadrupole magnet. The Q1a is a conventional dual apertures quadrupole magnet. The required integral quadrupole strengths in two apertures are the same. This magnet is a septum quadrupole with high current density and solid core. 2D pole contour optimization and pole end chamfers are used to minimize harmonic error. The design methods, experiment results and magnet performances are described in this paper.
