Abstract

The authors report on the status of the magnetic design of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) dipole magnets. A two- and three-dimensional design optimization was performed that included the effects of permeable collar, yoke, cryostat, beam tube, crescent yoke end pieces, cool-down, and Lorentz loads. A field quality plan was developed that represents the approach to tuning the design for satisfying the systematic and RMS multipole specifications. The VSA tool is being used to simulate the effects of random parts, tool and process variations on the expected multipole distributions, both between many magnets, and within a single magnet.<>
