Radiation Resistant Prototype Dipole for the First Stage of Super-FRS

The Super-FRS (FRagment Separator) is part of the planned International Facility of Anti-proton and Ion Research-FAIR, at GSI, Darmstadt, Germany. It is intended to produce short-lived radioactive nuclei to be investigated in its different branches. Due to the high radiation level in the vicinity of the target the use of radiation resistant magnets is mandatory. In addition appliances for remote handling and alignment are inevitable. Remote handling has to include not only assembly and disasembly, but also connectors for water, current and interlocks. A 90 tons prototype of a large aperture dipole with a magnetic flux density range of 0.1 to 1.6 T was developed, constructed and extensively tested with good success. Therefore, it is intended to use this magnet in the first stage of the Super-FRS.
