Abstract

Two new prototype dipole magnets for the proposed new fast cycling (f=1 Hz) synchrotron at GSI in Darmstadt have been designed, fabricated and tested. The magnets are based on a window frame iron yoke cooled by liquid nitrogen and a superconducting winding made from a hollow NbTi composite superconductor cable cooled with forced two-phase helium flow at T=4.5 K. The cold mass of the magnet is separated from the yoke by a small vacuum gap of 0.75 mm to 2.5 mm. A decrease of ac power losses by a factor of 2.3 in comparison with a standard Nuclotron dipole is obtained. The design features of two prototype dipoles as well as the test results are presented.
