Title: Tests results of Nb$_{3}$Sn quadrupole magnets using a shell-based support structure
Abstract: In support of the development of a 90 mm aperture Nb3Sn superconducting quadrupole for the US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP), test results of five quadrupole magnets are compared. All five assemblies used key and bladder technology to compress and support the coils within an iron yoke and an aluminium shell. The first three models (TQS01a, b, c) used Nb3Sn MJR conductor and segmented bronze poles. The last two models (TQS02a, b) used Nb3Sn RRP conductor, and segmented titanium alloy (TiAl6V4) poles, with no axial gaps during reaction. This presentation summarizes the magnets performance during assembly, cool-down and excitation and compares measurements with design expectations.
