Abstract

The linear induction accelerator focus magnet design for the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrotest (DARHT) facility is presented. Prototype solenoid magnets have demonstrated less than 1-mrad peak transverse error field while using large copper conductors. The design features multi-filar winding to reduce field errors due to winding geometry, iron rings within the solenoid to greatly reduce the effects of winding errors, and low-profile dipole trim magnets to correct installation errors. Numerical modeling of several designs is presented as well as data from magnetic field measurements of a series of prototype magnets.<>
