R and D ERL: Magnet

The BNL prototype ERL is the major experimental research and development effort towards RHIC II, the electron cooling project for RHIC. The objective is to reduce the risk and costs of the RHIC II project, as well as developing and demonstrating the electron beam parameters required for electron cooling. The prototype will also serve as a test bed for studying issues relevant to very high current ERLs. All quadrupole and dipole magnets are of the warm bore variety. All magnets are to be accurately CNC machined and will be installed on similarly machined bases. A portion of the ring will be mounted on a movable gantry with a total stroke of plus/minus 5cm.
