Abstract

This paper describes a new design of superconducting dipole magnet prototype by the use of tilted solenoids. The magnet prototype, which consists of four layers of superimposed tilted solenoids with operating current of 3708 A, will produce a 2.5 T magnetic field in an aperture of 50 mm diameter. The detailed magnetic field design by using two kinds of software is presented. And their results show a good agree in the magnetic fields. So far we have accomplished the prototype construction and expect a cryogenic test. The process of the magnet fabrication is also reported in detail.
