Performance validation of the iron-dominated, normal-conducting 45°dipole magnets in the ReA3 HEBT line at NSCL, MSU

Abstract

Abstract The Re-Accelerator (ReA3) facility at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University (MSU) delivers rare isotope and stable beams ranging from 0.3 MeV/u to 6 MeV/u to experimental end stations. The High Energy Beam Transport (HEBT) line into the ReA3 experimental hall houses several quadrupole magnets, dipole magnets, and combined function horizontal and vertical corrector magnets. All of these are iron-dominated, resistive type magnets. This paper describes the magnetic performance of 45°dipole magnets installed in both the vertical and horizontal section of the ReA3 beamline. The computed field map and the derived data provide a reference for the operational setting of the magnet and input for the beam optics study. The field measured by both Hall and NMR probes agrees well with the calculations suggesting that the magnet performance meets the design specification.
