Abstract :
The synchrotron SIS100 is one of the two basic accelerators of the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at GSI in Darmstadt. The SIS100 should provide acceleration of high intensity U28+ and proton beams for 0.5 s, with a pulse repetition rate of 0.6 Hz. In the accelerator magnetic system superferric 2 T dipoles of about 3 m length and 32 T/m quadrupoles of about 1 m length will be used. The magnet coils are made from hollow NbTi composite cable cooled with two phase helium flow at 4.5 K. The lattice comprises 108 dipoles and 168 quadrupoles. The elliptic beam pipe inner dimensions have been fixed at 130 times 60 mm2 for the dipole and 135 times 65 mm2 for the quadrupole. Both the dipole and quadrupole design approaches are based on improved versions of the original Nuclotron fast-cycling magnets and provide significantly less AC loss at 4.5 K, better quality of the magnetic field, and a higher long-term mechanical stability of the magnet coils. The results are based on the investigation of 1.4 m dipole and 0.4 m quadrupole Nuclotron-type magnet models. The status of the new magnets design and its manufacturing are presented. Essential features and new results are discussed.
