Notice Information

Notice Title

ZEPTO Dipole Permanent Magnet Block

Notice Description

The Accelerator Science and Technology Centre (ASTeC) at Daresbury Laboratory has designed prototype dipoles for the drive beam turnaround loop (DB-TAL) of the proposed Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) project at CERN. The DB-TAL requires 576 dipoles to steer the beam along its length. Each of these dipoles will have a nominal strength of 1.6 T, and will be able to reduce the field down to 0.8 T. The prototype will be somewhat smaller, generating a maximum field of around 1.0 T. The dipoles are based on a moving permanent magnet concept, allowing the magnet strength to be adjusted to keep the beam focused correctly.
