Abstract

An important part of FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research), being developed at GSI, Darmstadt, Germany, is the fast-ramping heavy ion synchrotron SIS 300. The main elements of the SIS 300 magnetic system are 6 T, 2.6 m long superconducting dipoles, to guide charged particle beams on a path with a 50 m curvature radius. A model superconducting dipole, manufactured for the UNK project, was chosen to study the influence of bending on the magnet characteristics. The straight collared coil of this model magnet was tested, then bent with a 50 m curvature radius, and then retested. The main measured and calculated characteristics of the coil for both tests are presented. Test results showed similar characteristics, both in training and in ramp rate dependence, as well as in field quality of the straight and bent coils. There is a good agreement between measured and calculated results of the completed study
