Design of Normal-Conducting Quadrupole Magnets for Linac4 at CERN

Linac4 is the first element of the Large Hadron Collider Injectors Upgrade Project and will replace the existing Linac2 as linear injector of protons for the CERN accelerators. A new transfer line will link Linac4 to the Proton Synchrotron Booster. Approximately a hundred normal-conducting electro-magnets are required for beam steering and focusing along the linac and the transfer line. This text concentrates on the design of the Linac4 quadrupole magnets. The design and the first magnetic measurements of the inter-tank quadrupole electro-magnets are discussed. In addition, the design and optimization of the transfer line quadrupole magnets are highlighted. The compatibility of the magnetic requirements and the power converter constraints for the latter magnet type is assessed.
