Abstract:In 1996 the LBNL D20 Nb 3 Sn dipole magnet reached 12.8 T at 4.4 K and 13.5 T at 1.8 K, and caught the accelerator magnet community by surprise. Not only did it achieve a record field for an accelerator dipole magnet but it also demonstrated a breakthrough in Nb 3 Sn conductor technology. This chapter summarizes the technical aspects of D20 development and test, addresses lessons learned, and includes suggestions relevant to developing high-field magnets for future accelerators.The design approach towards D20 … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
