Fabrication of a Straight Canted Cosine-Theta Prototype Magnet for Hadron Therapy
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Canted Cosine Theta magnets are a very promising layout for applications in small accelerator systems, for example for the gantries needed at hadron therapy facilities. A 1-meter-long, straight and combined function magnet demonstrator with 80 mm aperture diameter, 4 T central field and 5 T/m quadrupole component is under development in the framework of the European-funded project IFAST. The main purpose of this demonstrator is to develop competencies and expertise about the CCT layout and explore the possibility of implementing a combined function CCT magnet. The design has been reported elsewhere. This paper includes details about the fabrication of this demonstrator, describing the techniques and tooling used in each step: machining, winding, wax impregnation and assembly. Special attention is paid to the splices since the cable is a twisted rope of six NbTi wires around a central copper wire.
