Abstract :
A series of 50-mm-diameter 1.5-m model magnets has been constructed. The tests of these magnets gave convincing results concerning the design of the 50-mm cross section of the Superconducting Super Collider dipoles. Although there are still difficulties in the detailed control of end shape, coil size, pressure and field, the basic design of the magnet is proved to be valid by this model magnet study. Results on quench characteristics, mechanical behavior, and field quality are presented.<>
