Harmonic Suppression Study on Twin Aperture CCT Type Superconducting Quadrupole for CEPC Interaction Region

Abstract

Iron-free twin-aperture superconducting quadrupole in the interaction region is a key technology to increase the luminosity of high-energy future colliders, such as the circular electron-positron collider that China will build in the next ten years with a center-of-mass energy of 240 GeV and a small crossing angle of 33 mrad in the interaction region. The final focusing quadrupole QD0, which is 2.2 m away from the interaction point, only has a 72 mm beam separation distance at the front end of the magnet. Because of the tight space, canted cosine theta coil type is the best selection, where the coil can be wound directly on the coil former in a fixed inclination angle. For QD0, the superconducting quadrupole coils for the two apertures are nearly in contact; high-order harmonics will be produced by magnetic field crosstalk and should be canceled out at the design stage. This article will present the design study for a pair of 400 mm long QD0 prototype, where we deliberately introduce some opposite harmonics to optimize the coil configuration so as to cancel out the unwanted harmonics.
