The Power and Cooling Interconnection of the 200-GeV Synchrotron Magnets

The proposed system for connecting the power and water to the main-accelerator magnets is designed to require a minimum of maintenance. Its design permits remote-controlled manipulator removal should this be necessary at some future date. Copper pipes conduct both power and low-conductivity water to the magnets. All connections in the cooling-bus system, the connections to it, and connections within the magnet coil manifolds are either brazed or welded.
