10. LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 10 Coil Analysis Findings Both mechanical and electrical issues were traced to excessive compaction during the coil reaction phase: HQ design assumed less space for inter-turn insulation than TQ/LQ  Reaction cavity limits radial & azimuthal expansion No/insufficient gaps were included between pole parts to limit longitudinal strain A detailed analysis will be presented by Helene Felice in the magnet parallel session Coil spring back in tooling (Over) size measurements of completed coil
