Abstract

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) Project under construction at BNL will enable collisions between beams of nuclei as heavy as 197Au, accelerated in two quasi-circular rings to a maximum energy of 100 GeV/u.[1] The bending and focusing of the beams is done by dipole and quadrupole magnets constructed primarily from 30-strand Rutherford-type cable. This is a progress report on the manufacture of superconductor which is a key technical component for the accelerator.
