Abstract

A two-layer Canted-Cosine-Theta (CCT) superconducting dipole magnet was built and tested. The magnet's unique mandrel design uses machined channels and spars to guide the windings, intercept Lorentz forces, and circumvent tangential stress accumulation. The CCT magnet design provides a "near-perfect" current density distribution and requires minimal coil prestress. The CCT magnet design, with these inherent features, makes it a desirable option for a high field accelerator magnet. A two layer dipole (CCT1) using NbTi cable and a 50.8-mm clear bore was built and tested generating a 2.4 T dipole field. We report on the winding experience, measured field quality and quench history.
