Superconducting Magnets for the NICA Accelerator Complex in Dubna

NICA is the new accelerator complex being under design and construction at JINR. The facility is aimed at providing collider experiments with heavy ions up to Uranium in a center of mass energy range from 4 to 11 GeV/u and an average luminosity up to 10 27 cm -2 · s -1 . The collisions of polarized...

Description
Summary:NICA is the new accelerator complex being under design and construction at JINR. The facility is aimed at providing collider experiments with heavy ions up to Uranium in a center of mass energy range from 4 to 11 GeV/u and an average luminosity up to 10 27 cm -2 · s -1 . The collisions of polarized deuterons are also foreseen. The facility includes two injector chains, a new superconducting Booster synchrotron, the existing 6 A · GeV superconducting synchrotron-Nuclotron, and the new superconducting Collider consisting of two rings of about 500 m circumference each. The Booster synchrotron and the NICA Collider are based on an iron-dominated "window frame"- type magnet with a hollow superconductor winding analogous to the Nuclotron magnet. The status of the design and construction of the full size model magnets for the Booster synchrotron as well as for the NICA Collider is presented.
