Abstract

The authors investigate some options that can improve the design and performance of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) collider quadrupole magnet (CQM). They concentrate on the effect of the CQM magnetic material (yoke) on the design. Among these options are reduction of the amount of iron used; transfer function improvement to match that of the collider dipole magnets (CDM); yoke hysteresis effects; and shaping yoke or inserted magnetic material in the CQM collar to correct for some multipoles. PE2D software and FORTRAN codes were used to conduct the analysis.<>
