Design, Manufacture and Test of a 1.3 T/10 Hz Dipole Model for Rapid Cycling Synchrotrons

The construction of a compact rapid cycling synchrotron has recently been studied at CERN to replace the first stage of its accelerator complex, the proton synchrotron booster. Although currently there are no plans to build this machine, fast cycled accelerator magnets are of general interest for numerous reasons. This has led to the design, manufacture, and testing of a scaled model dipole as detailed in this paper to show the capability of producing and characterizing a magnet design based on high-silicon content grain-oriented steel able to operate up to 1.3 T at 10 Hz.
