Next Lens Design - Designed to operate in air - Cooling line around coil - Housing - acts as eddy-shield - eliminates G10 outgassing concerns
Present Development at FZD 1) Aperture + perm. Dipole - under construction for first radio-biology experiments 2) 2 perm. Quadrupoles + perm. Dipole - construction complete - characterization on 10 MeV tandem this or next week - placement in laser chamber to follow 3) Pulsed Solenoid (and Pulsed Bending Magnets) - construction complete (2 coils), design for luftspule in progress - G10 outgassing tests in the next weeks - characterization on 10 MeV tandem in the next month - placement in laser chamber to follow 4) Next Capacitor is being designed
