Abstract :
A one-meter long magnet has been fabricated to provide background field for testing racetrack shaped coils made from high field materials such as Nb3Sn, Nb3Al and the new high temperature superconductors, BSCCO and YBCO. The magnet is of the double aperture common coil type and uses high current Nb-Ti main coils to produce an applied field of approximately 7T on inner coils fabricated from pre-reacted tape conductors. The performance of the magnet is summarized along with test results from insert coils wound from N3Sn ribbon conductor
