Abstract

A common design has been adopted for a high field (1.1 T) Lambertson magnet for use in the four injection/extraction channels of the Main Injector (MI) as well as the Tevatron injection channel. To support the extraction/injection of 150 GeV/c protons and pbars, the field within the “field region” of the Lambertson should reach 1.1 Tesla with less than 0.3% variation in a 2 by 12 inch good field aperture. Utilization for the 8.9 GeV/c pbars and resonant extraction of 120 GeV/c protons place stringent aperture requirements on the magnet design. In addition, this magnet must simultaneously support circulating beam in the energy range of 8.9 GeV/c to 900 GeV/c, through its “field free” region. At maximum excitation, the leakage field in this region must be kept to a minimum to avoid any deleterious effects on the circulating beam. The magnet design parameters which meet the aperture, magnetic, and structural requirements as well as the selection criteria of the steel are discussed
