Descripción
Sumario:This paper describes the calculation, design and manufacturing of a 550A superconducting prototype trim quadrupole (MQTL) for the future LHC collider to be installed at CERN. The first part of the paper deals with the magnetic and mechanical design. which includes some innovative aspects Such as the magnetic iron circuit. and the pre- stressing devices based on the so-called "scissors laminations principle". The second part describes the fabrication, which includes the design and manufacturing of a special winding machine. the impregnation mould and the winding and assembly tooling. (4 refs).
