Field optimization Geometrical harmonics are controlled by changing the pole profile from the ideal hyperbolic profile; no action has been taken to control saturation harmonics. Small effect in case we use non circular iron yoke profile. We fear that much larger harmonics will appear at the magnet ends when the 3D computations are made.

Magnet protection Quench protection is based on an external resistor dump. The maximum voltage V max is provisionally fixed at 100 V (6-pole to 12-pole) and 300 V (4-pole); any interest to keep V max 300 V? protection does not rely on quench heater; they could be considered for test purposes; the peak temperatures are computed in two limiting case: v quench → 0 (worst case) and v quench → ∞ (limiting the quench to one coil only); quench detection and switch operation time neglected; conclusion: quench does not seem a critical point –not obvious, but likely-; a more detailed quench computation with proper propagation speed has to be performed when the design reaches its final stage. nIop[A]T[K]R coil [Ω]R dump [Ω] v quench ∞ > >> < << << >0.667 Giovanni Volpini, CERN 14 January

Insulation & impregnation scheme Polyimide: Neither European company is able to provide kapton insulated wire, at least for such small supplies; could not identify an external supplier for dip coating, but only tape coating; doubtful behaviour during impregnation w.r.t. fiberglass: is polyimide porous enough and does it stick well to the resin? Fiberglass: one wire supplier will provide the wire already insulated with S-2 glass, with a 0.14 mm total (i.e. on diameter) thickness; discussions in progress with a specialized company to study the insulation procedure for the bare wire; Impregnation CTD-101K seems to be the most used and well known resin system. We understand that its radiation endurance properties are compliant with the design requirement. We are starting to develop the impregnation procedure with this resin.

Assembly The coils are not in contact with the pole. The spacer and the pole profile are tapered to match closely the coil to the pole, before tightening the screws of the wedge. coil pole wedge spacer Giovanni Volpini, CERN 14 January
