Curved-Canted-Cosine-Theta (CCCT) Dipole Prototype Development at CERN

Due to its flexibility in generating advanced field harmonic corrections and potential for low cost compared to traditional designs, the Canted Cosine Theta (CCT) configuration is particularly interesting for compact particle accelerators and gantries for medical applications. This article presents the design of a curved demonstrator named Fusillo, a Canted Cosine Theta Nb-Ti dipole magnet that is being developed at CERN, featuring a large aperture of 236 mm, a small bending radius of 1 m, a bending angle of 90
$^{\circ }$
, and multi-harmonic field correction, with a 3.61 T conductor peak field. We detail the magnetic coil design, incorporating high-order magnetic field correction of the errors produced by the heavily curved coil, peak field reduction at the coil ends, the development of a new rope type cable, and the mechanical design and the development of the former that supports the coil and provides the curved shape. We also present the first results of a subscale model used to qualify the coil's former manufacturing process, the rope cable, the coil winding optimization, and the coil impregnation system.
