Fabrication of the shell-type Nb/sub 3/Sn dipole magnet at Fermilab

Abstract

A 43.5 mm aperture dipole magnet with a nominal field of 11 T is being fabricated at Fermilab. The design is based on a two-layer shell-type coil structure made of Rutherford-type Nb/sub 3/Sn cable with wind and react technology. The mechanical support structure consists of vertically split iron yoke locked by two aluminum clamps and a 8 mm thick stainless steel skin. This paper summarizes the fabrication details of the first dipole model and test results from a 2110 mm long mechanical model.
