About

UK Shared Business Services Limited awarded a contract to Vaccumschmelze GmbH & Co KG for the supply of permanent magnet blocks for prototype dipoles designed by the Accelerator Science and Technology Centre (ASTeC) at Daresbury Laboratory.

The dipoles are intended for the drive beam turnaround loop (DB-TAL) of the proposed Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) project at CERN.

The DB-TAL requires 576 dipoles, each with a nominal strength of 1.6 T and the ability to reduce the field to 0.8 T; the prototype will be smaller, generating a maximum field of around 1.0 T.

The dipoles are based on a moving permanent magnet concept, allowing the magnet strength to be adjusted to keep the beam focused correctly.

The contract value is AUD 54,490.
