Abstract

Eleven 17-m-long, 40-mm-aperture SSC (Superconducting Super Collider) R&D superconducting collider dipole magnets, built at BNL (Brookhaven National Laboratory), have been extensively tested at BNL and Fermilab during 1990-1. Quench performance of these magnets and details of their mechanical behavior are presented. Although the quench performance of the most recent magnets shows slightly more quenches than expected, there is now a better understanding of the mechanical behavior of these magnets. The baseline design leads to reasonable quench performance. The quench performance of the DC series magnets seems to indicate a strong sensitivity to change in design parameters, key among them being the collar-yoke interference and the coil end loading
