Assembly and Mechanical Analysis of the Canted-Cosine-Theta Subscale Magnets

A two-layer subscale canted-cosine-theta 4.5 T has been built and successfully tested. The design of the magnet is based on Nb
₃
Sn cable wound into aluminum bronze mandrels, and an external aluminum shell. The magnet was conceived as an agile platform for the development of canted-cosine-theta magnets and general magnet technology. The main fabrication, assembly and analysis processes developed for this magnet are discussed in detail. The training behavior and mechanical response of magnet’s structure in relation to previous canted-cosine-theta magnets are also discussed.
