Performance Studies of Superconducting Dipoles for the Fermilab Energy Doubler

The Energy Doubler magnet development and testing program was initiated in September 1972 and has thus far proceeded through three phases. In the first phase, several wire winding geometries and the ability to reproduce magnet field properties in a pair of dipoles were explored. This phase closed with construction and operation of a 20 foot dipole magnet. When the 20 foot magnet did not perform to...
