Description
Since commissioning in 2022, the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) has successfully delivered over 270 rare isotope beams, including the discovery of five new rare isotopes. To fully leverage the scientific potential of FRIB, a new High Rigidity Spectrometer (HRS) has been proposed to overcome the limitations of the existing Spectrometer of S800, the legacy from the NSCL era.
The HRS comprises two primary sections: the High-Transmission Beamline (HTBL) and the Spectrometer Section (SPS). At the ASC 2024, we introduced the key design features of the HTBL magnets and outlined the project’s path forward. This talk will report an update on the progress of construction and testing for the first-article HTBL magnets: switching dipole and cold iron quadrupole triplet. Additionally, we will unveil the preliminary design of new magnets including the sweeper and sector dipoles, as well as the coil-dominated quadrupoles singlets for the SPS. This talk will discuss the challenges encountered during the dipole design process, particularly those related to the large beam space requirements. Furthermore, we will highlight the collaborative efforts with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) in developing two large-aperture coil-dominated quadrupoles that incorporate nested higher-order multipoles. We will introduce the quadrupole coil winding, force-restrain architecture, and tooling design.
