A unique feature of the LAMPF high-Intensity linac experimental area is the extensive use of inorganic magnet coils to withstand the high radiation doses expected. In a large number of these magnets the coil insulation is compacted magnesium oxide powder ("mineral insulation," m.i.) and pre-insulated cable is wound into the required coil configuration. Although the cable itself Is expensive compared to bare copper conductor, the finished coil cost is comparable to a conventional coil, since no Insulation application is required of the coil winder. Two conductor formats are used at LAMPF: solid conductor, externally cooled, using soft solder to improve the heat transfer within the coil; and directly cooled, hollow conductor m.i. cable. At LAMPF both conductor types are conservatively rated. Indirectly cooled coils are used exclusively in the switchyard magnets, where low field strengths and high quality are required. Higher-power magnets for target-to-target transport and secondary beam lines use direct cooling. Methods of making terminations on the cable are described. Measured operating parameters for all these magnets are tabulated. Poleshaping techniques for the bending magnets and quadrupoles are examined and the results given.
