Abstract
The conventional quadrupole and dipole magnets, used to focus and bend the beams of charged particles produced by accelerators, consume very large amounts of power. Superconducting magnets are an attractive method of reducing this power requirement while offering the advantage of higher fields and field gradients. A number of model superconducting beam handling magnets have been built and tested and a full-size quadrupole doublet is under construction. The use of high current density Nb3Sn conductors allows compact design, reducing the cryogenic requirements and capital cost of the magnets.Keywords
