Abstract
As part of the development of very high field dipole magnets for particle accelerators, the Superconducting Magnet Program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is developing block-type dipole magnets. One of the main challenges of this geometry is to provide support to the coil in the aperture while maintaining an adequate clear bore. Through finite element method analysis, strain-gauge measurements, and test results, this paper reviews the design of HD3, a 1-m-long, 43-mm-bore Nb3Sn dipole magnet, presents the findings in terms of strain gauges monitoring, and summarizes their implications. © 2002-2011 IEEE.
