Development of a 200-mm Short Model of Beam Separation Dipole for HL-LHC Upgrade

The High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) has been developing the beam separation dipole magnet for the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) upgrade. The magnet has a coil aperture of 150 mm, using Nb-Ti superconducting cable, and a dipole magnetic field of 5.6 T will be generated at 12 kA, at 1.9 K, to provide the field integral of 35 T·m. To verify the mechanical behavior of the magnet and to optimize the fabrication processes, we develop a 200-mm short model, which is the cross-sectional cutout of the magnet. The development includes validation of a series of fabrication processes. Coil stress in pole was monitored by strain gauges during collaring, yoking, and cooldown test.
