1 NuMI Magnets or What to look for in a gift magnet’s mouth David Harding 3 November 2008

2 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group2 Re-using Magnets Pros & Cons Cheaper, defined Quicker Focuses beam design Minimizes rad waste Known properties No surprises But not free But not instantaneous Limits beam design Rad exposure False assumptions Surprises

3 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group3 Metal prices have been volatile

4 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group4 6-3-120 Dipoles Not used in final beamline design, but several rehabbed for early design and BNB Venerable magnets had been sitting in decommissioned beamlines

5 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group5 6-3-120 Surprises Poor coil-to-ground insulation Much work –Extra time –Extra cost

6 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group6 Inside an old 6-3-120 dipole

7 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group7 An old 6-3-120

8 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group8 B2 Dipoles Specs changed, clarified in process –Tolerances on beam tube length and flange position Worked out fine in the end –Could have been substantial cost increase

9 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group9 EPB Dipoles Extensively used in NuMI and SY120 Venerable magnets had been sitting in decommissioned beamlines

10 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group10 EPB Dipole comments As with B2 dipoles, beam tube length, flange position, squareness issues Multiple bus, manifold possibilities Magnetic shielding effort successful Notoriously fragile insulators –Have been problematic –Upgrade designed, tested, to be installed

11 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group11 EPB Dipole photos

12 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group12 3Q120 Quadrupoles Extensively used in NuMI and BNB Venerable magnets had been sitting in decommissioned beamlines

13 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group13 3Q120 Surprises Many variants Many ground faults and water leaks Mostly not repairable Water needs Power supply needs

14 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group14 3Q120 photos

15 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group15 3Q120 Variants Two core sizes –Better high field performance? No! Solid conductor or hollow  –118 turns/pole or 28 turns/pole Cooling fins (solid conductor) –8 fins or 12 fins (and variants on manifolding) –Copper or aluminum Cooling paths (hollow conductor) –8 paths or 16 paths Beam tube –Round or star

16 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group16 3Q120 Failures Some magnets rejected before attempting rework –Ground faults About ¼ of magnets selected for rework failed –Mostly water leaks Generally not repairable Competing with other projects for good ones

17 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group17 3Q120 Cooling Confusion regarding –Current needs for working gradients –Power for DC operation –Water needs for adequate cooling –Actual water flow Ramp the magnets or add cooling? –Added external cooling jackets for hottest magnets –Will eventually replace with hollow conductor All worked out in the end with some anquish

18 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group18 Trim Dipoles Commitment to MI style trims Requirements changed with beam design Had to add external cooling

19 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group19 Magnet with spacers, coolers

20 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group20 Closeout magnet reports http://tdserver1.fnal.gov/project/JobFiles/Current_Jobs/0201_BDP/Closeout/0201-BDP_summary.doc http://tdserver1.fnal.gov/project/JobFiles/Current_Jobs/0191_QQM/Closeout/0191-QQM_summary.doc http://tdserver1.fnal.gov/Project/JobFiles/Current_Jobs/0188_IDH/closeout/0188-IDHx_summary.doc

21 3 Nov 2008David Harding DUSEL Beamline Working Group21 Lessons Learned Re-used magnets can be good Look that gift horse in the mouth Ask the experts rather than relying on 20+ year old notes System integration is critical –Optics, magnets, power, water, operations Changing course in mid-stream adds cost Close communication is essential
