About
UK Research and Innovation awarded a contract to Sigmaphi for the design phase of a normal conducting main magnet coil prototype.
The coil replicates the geometric complexity and manufacturing requirements of a superconducting coil intended for the FETS-vFFA ring, which will assess the feasibility of using a vFFA for the ISIS II project.
The design aims to mitigate manufacturing risks, increase ISIS expertise in superconducting magnet design, achieve a scaling field, and achieve field quality over a large distance.
The contract value was AUD 58,083.
