Abstract

Design activities, conductor R&D and model coil construction are under way for the development of a curved superconducting dipole for the fast cycled SIS300 synchrotron at FAIR at GSI. The main target is the construction within 2009 of a half-length model magnet (cold mass fully integrated in a horizontal cryostat). This magnet is designed for a maximum central field of 4.5 T in a bore of 100 mm, with a ramp rate of 1 T/s. The magnetic length of the model is 3.9 m with a curvature radius of 66.67 m (27 mm of sagitta). This paper describes the thermal analysis of the magnet, based on the estimated values of the losses in the cold mass. The study has been performed with 2-D finite element codes, both in steady state and transient analysis. The study has been completed with measurements of overall thermal exchange coefficient between the kapton-insulated cables and the supercritical helium, in order to validate the adopted assumptions about the material thermal properties.
