Abstract :
A new low β insertion has been designed for the B0 and D0 straight sections of the Tevatron Collider. Each low β insertion consists of 18 superconducting quadrupoles which are powered independently of the Tevatron accelerator magnets to focus the beams at the interaction region. The authors describe the quench behavior of the low β quadrupoles, their power circuits, and their quench protection systems
