Description

A 3 tesla magnet was constructed and installed in an experimental hall at TRISTAN. Cooldown and excitation tests of the magnet were carried out with a dedicated cryogenic system. The coil has a 2.39 m inner diameter and is 1.54 m long with a radial thickness of 0.1 m. The rated current is 5 kA and the stored energy is 40 MJ. The refrigerator and 17-ton magnet cold mass were cooled to 4.4 K in seven days. Then the magnet was energized to the design current of 5 kA and the mechanical stress of the coil supports was measured. The stress on the supports was well below the allowed maximum. Measurements of the discharge characteristics of the magnet confirmed that the magnet was stable and reliable
