Abstract
The first model of a superconducting quadrupole for use in a Linear Accelerator was designed, built and tested at Fermilab. The quadrupole has a 78 mm aperture, and a cold mass length of 680 mm. A superferric magnet configuration with iron poles and four racetrack coils was chosen based on magnet performance, cost, and reliability considerations. Each coil is wound using enamel insulated, 0.5 mm diameter, NbTi superconductor. The quadrupole package also includes racetrack type dipole steering coils. The results of the quadrupole design, manufacturing and test, are presented. Specific issues related to the quadrupole magnetic center stability, superconductor magnetization and mechanical stability are discussed. The magnet quench performance and results of magnetic measurements will also be briefly discussed.
