Abstract

The pulsed dipole magnet used at the antiproton source target station to bend the path of 8-GeV secondary antiprotons from the residual primary proton beam has had a history of failure due to the intensely radioactive environment in which it must operate. A new radiation-hardened pulsed magnet has been designed to replace this magnet. The unique water-cooled single-turn dipole utilizes radiation-resistant materials while exhibiting uniform field characteristics of 1.573 T over 1 m.<>
