OVERVIEW LHQ - 3. 8 meter longitudinal extension of the 1 meter HQ Magnet. - LQ assembly experiences and lessons-learned – applied. - Basic Structural Design: 4 -segment shell assembly. (as in LQ). - As an alternate design, a 3 -segment design is being considered (shown in this presentation). - Structurally, more efficient. - Less assembly tooling. - To validate this design, analysis required to rule out risk of axial “slippage” hindering desired stress distribution at cool down – inherent in long shell structures (LR Magnet).

OUTSTANDING ISSUES (FOR DISCUSSION) 1. COLD-MASS COOLING PROVISIONS 1. 1 Bore cooling holes through pole segments and coil-alignment keys. (Each Coil) 1. 1. 1 Area criteria required - affecting size of each coil’s outer layer keyway width and depth (impacting pole segment profile, alignment key design & collar profile). 1. 2 Distribution in cold-mass 1. 2. 1 Area criteria required – possibly affecting final cross-section profiles in yokes & load pads. Nominal Diameter: 2. 00” [50. 8 mm] Nominal Diameter: ~1. 5” [38. 1 mm] (maximum per quadrant) (2 holes per yoke-stack) CM-18 FNAL LHQ 01, 3. 8 m Hi-gradient Quadrupole Ray Hafalia, Jr. 22
OUTSTANDING ISSUES - ADDRESSED (FROM YESTERDAY’S WORKING GROUP 3) 1. COLD-MASS COOLING PROVISIONS – from 05/08 working group 1. 1 Bore cooling holes through pole segments and coil-alignment keys. (Each Coil) - No area criteria required – will use available holes in present design. 1. 2 Decision not to address the cooling holes for heat exchanger in the structure. 1. 3 Goal: demonstrate capability to insure adequate ground plane insulation. Important to set a target hi-pot voltage in agreement with CERN. CM-18 FNAL LHQ 01, 3. 8 m Hi-gradient Quadrupole Ray Hafalia, Jr. 22 A
NEXT STEPS - Analyses to be performed - Shear analyses on coil alignment key to determine if a wider key is required. (Related issue of larger diameter bore cooling holes or segmented key. - Stress distribution analyses on the shell segment length to validate the 3 -segment assembly. - Implement suggested cooling and insulation features brought out in the Working Group – within the parameters of the LHQ goals. - Discussions with forum CM-18 FNAL LHQ 01, 3. 8 m Hi-gradient Quadrupole Ray Hafalia, Jr. 23
