Abstract

Test results from a group of eight superconducting quadrupoles made at Brookhaven National Laboratory are presented. The magnets have been designed for use in the arc regions of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider now under construction at Brookhaven. Novel features of the design include a single-layer coil, the use of injection-molded phenolic for the pole spacers, and a yoke that also serves as a collar. This R&D series has been used to verify the magnet quench performance and field quality prior to the start of the production run in industry
