Superferric Magnet Option for the SSC Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The basic design for the SSC started at Snowmass in the summer of 1982. The premise is that a superferric SSC has the potential to be simple, reliable, inexpensive and provide future flexibility. A concentrated effort began in March of 1984 when the Texas Accelerator Center was formed. The Texas Accelerator Center is a group of about 50 people divided into three areas of research, a calculations group working on beam dynamics, an R and D group working on superconducting magnets, and an R and D group working on new accelerator ideas including a proton linac and a plasma-laser accelerator. This paper will emphasize the work on the superferric magnet R and D. Copyright 1985 by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
