Winding design study of superconducting 10 T dipoles for a synchrotron

A comparative design study was made for windings of a superconducting 10 T dipole magnet, which could be used for a future large accelerator. Calculations were done for different magnet winding design types; given a few simplifying assumptions, their general magnetic and mechanical parameters were obtained. The four shell configuration seemed to show the most promise of all the magnet designs considered for a 10 T small aperture (5 cm) dipole magnet.
