Abstract

An experimental 1-m long twill aperture dipole magnet developed using a high-current Nb/sub 3/Sn conductor in order to attain a magnetic field well beyond 10 T at 4.2 K is described. The emphasis in this Nb/sub 3/Sn project is on the highest possible field within the known Large Hadron Collider (LHC) twin-aperture configuration. A design target of 11.5 T was chosen.
