To: Distribution 19 Dec 95 From: Martin Nordby Subject: Minutes of Near IR Engineering Meeting of 15 Dec 95 Q2 Magnet Mini-Review Q2 Magnet General Design Issues Jack Tanabe presented an overview of the Q2 magnet design options. The CDR conventional Q2 magnet was both offset and rotated with respect to the LEB orbit. The septum design produced a magnet with high current density coils and complex cooling circuits. Various permanent magnet solutions have been investigated. Because the gradient of the magnet increases with distance as the beam stay-clear tapers, the effective magnetic center of all of these options is out-board of that for the conventional design by about 15 cm. This movement is increased by the need for a dipole component of the quad to simulate the offset quad. Putting a dipole at the front of the quad PM maximizes the beam separation at Q4, but also keeps the quad center moved out. Septum Q2 Fran Younger presented an update of the septum Q2 design. The new beam stay-clear for the HEB requires a taller channel for the HEB beampipe. This changes the pole shape, and produces a magnet with marginal harmonics (around 4 E-4). This should be correctable using shims. If the magnet is moved 15 cm away from the I.P. (the same as the P.M. Q2 option), then the original pole shape fits. Also, the current density of the coils is reduced by 15%, as is the power dissipated. The coils can be 8-turn coils, instead of the CDR 6, and the total power dissipated is 19 kW. Permanent Magnet Options The spec's for the P.M. quad designs are: Quad Gradient: 11.153 T/m Quad Int Grad: 5.576 T (for 0.5 m effective field length) Skew Quad Gradient: 8.066 T/m Skew Quad Int Grad: 0.807 T (for 0.1 m effective length) Dipole First Integral: 31,400 G-cm Skew Dipole First Integral: 15700 G-cm The magnet designs incorporate the skew quad into the quad, allowing 0-10% quad tuning and independent 0-100% skew quad adjustment. A harmonic corrector ring (discussed last week by Ross Schlueter) allows tuning of the quad to reduce as-built harmonics from 1 E-2 (for quad/sxt harmonics) to 1 E-4. Two design options were discussed. One was a hybrid design, which includes a 15 cm long dipole magnet on the inboard side of a 44 cm long quad. The second was an offset quad, 78 cm long, and offset 0.6 cm to produce the required bending. Both designs start at 277 cm from the I.P., and are followed by two rotating quad rings to produce the trim and skew capacity. Comparison of the Halbach formulas with finite-element analysis shows that the effect of P.M. material with relative permeability >1 is to reduce the overall strength of the magnet. He has allowed for a 5% overage in magnet strength to account for this. Outside the quad, the average field at the HEB centerline is around 50 G. Dave is looking into adding a thin iron shield around the magnet slices to reduce this. Uli Weinands said that his back-of-the-envelope calculations show that less than 10 G is needed. The physical size of the magnet and support frame is approximately 33.43 cm wide by 30.8 cm high. Dave and Lou Bertollini are now working on refining the physical design of the magnet, and the Q2 septum chamber running through it. Q2 Optics Mike Sullivan reported on the effects of moving the Q2 magnet out-board by the needed 15 cm for the P.M. design. This increases the beta-function and beam stay-clears at Q2 and SCX2, and reduces the nominal strength of Q1 and Q2, as well as the beam separation at Q2, Q4, and Q5. However, Mike's initial calc's on this assumed that both the dipole and quad components of Q1 were weakened the same amount. This gave pessimistic beam separation numbers. By maintaining the dipole and just reducing the quad field, the changes in beam separations look reasonable. For a constant dipole, and 5% reduced quad field in Q1: dx = -0.44 mm at Q2 dx= -0.30 mm at Q4 dx = -0.88 mm at Q5 This is for the hybrid quad/dipole Q2 design. For the offset quad design, the changes are slightly less. One consequence of the change in Q1 strength is that the beam stay-clear through Q2 increases by 1.6 mm on the radius. This needs to be factored into the Q2 design, and the design iterated based on the new geometry. Dave Humphries and Mike Sullivan will work on getting this to converge The layout of the Q2 septum chamber was discussed, especially the location of flanges. Ideally, the part of the chamber trapped by the Q2 P.M. magnet would be flanged, so it could be removed, and the magnet tested. However, there may not be room for flanges, and they may see unacceptably-high levels of S.R. Dave Humphries and Lou Bertollini will continue to work on an integrated mechanical design of this region and report on this in future meetings. The two key issues which need resolution before a decision can be made regarding the Q2 magnet design are: 1. Stray fields in the HEB BSC: Uli Weinands is working on refining his calc's on acceptable field levels, and Dave Humphries is checking on the effectiveness of a thin iron shield around the P.M. rings. 2. Final design configuration of Q2 slices, with self-consistent BSC numbers for beam separations produced by that magnet design. Mike Sullivan and Dave Humphries will iterate on this to converge on a final layout.
