MECO Magnet Overview & Status

1. MECO Magnet Overview & Status • Magnet Conceptual Design completed Feb02 with cost estimate and final design, fabrication and installation schedule • Industrial studies completed by May03 • Insulation for 36 MRad (CMI) • Refrigerator/liquefier spec/estimate (ACT) • Fabrication logistics and cost (GA) • Continual design evolution with corresponding cost estimate updates • Added PS iron and PS & DS poles for transverse field limitation • 11-coil PS (available conductor length matching) • Updated collimator layout and support • Tolerance study completed indicating that magnets can likely be fabricated to a warm, de-energized dimensional spec rather than to a field spec, which should lead to simpler procurement. • Design review by MOG in Oct04 • Supplemental funding request submitted in Dec04 for $740k in magnet area • R&D includes a copper coil to validate insulation/impregnation approach & cooling • Design funding to evaluate other MOG recommendations (conduction cooled PS, other warm-cold support rod materials, fewer coils) and accompanying structural analyses.
