B.6-68-3 SUPERCONDUCTING BEAM-TRANSPORT MAGNETS AT THE 200-BeV ACCELERATOR Seminar Presented By

Super magnets are still in an early state of development and many improvements can be expected in the future. This is in contrast to the case of copper and iron magnets whose potentialities are well under stood and whose technology has plateaued. If super magnets are adopted at NAL, then it is probable that many unforeseeable improve ments will occur. Nevertheless, our immediate and first task is to prove feasibility within a short time on the basis of what is known now. Within a year or so we should be able to show that bending magnets with fields' " 40 kG and quadrupoles with gr-adients> 15kG lin. can be reliably engineered on a mass-production basis. If feasibility and acceptability for the job can be proved, and the decision is made to move ahead in this direction, the succeeding years are sure to lead to profitable development work in exploring new materials, obtaining higher and better-quality fields, and improving reliability and fab rication techniques
