Quadrupole Magnetic Design for an Electron Ion Collider Paul Brindza May 19, 2008
Achieving Small Crossing Angles • Achieving small crossing angles requires a creative sharing of space inside SC quads with the nearby Ion or Electron beams • It seems advantageous to place the smaller lower field final focus electron quads closest to the interaction point • Realistic design considerations of SC quads drives solutions where the ions or electrons must pass through the quad force collar or cold yoke structures
Electron Quad Design Choices • Reaching small crossing angles requires a “hole” in the SC magnet structure to pass the Ion beam • A “traditional” Cosine 2 Θ Quad with a non- magnetic force collar near the coil has residual field along the Ion trajectory • Due to lower fields in the Electron Quad the iron yoke/force collar can be adjacent to the coil
Ion Quad • Cosine 2Θ type SC quad operating at 2 Kelvin due to high field and high current density • Non magnetic force collar adjacent to coil • Hole to pass Electron beam in cold yoke or in force collar with a magnetic shield • Magnetic Design was performed with TOSCA
Ion Quad Considerations • High Gradient of 220 T/m , high current density 37KA/cm^2 and 8Tesla fields require operation at or near 2 Kelvin • This permits use of NbTi SC cable • Conventional Cosine 2Θ magnet geometry • LHC experience with high gradient quads will be a valuable guide for design • Force collar pressure due to magnetic forces is 6370 psi

Conclusions • Lambertson type quads are feasible for the final focus magnets for ELIC • Locating the Electron quads closest to the crossing point allows a smaller crossing angle. • ELIC quads require beam pass thru holes in the quad structural elements • NbTi SC cables can be used in the ELIC quads however the Ion quads must operate at 2 kelvin
