24 Stochastic cooling 24/34 Total and partial slip-factors of the ring as the function of ion energy. At such position of the kicker the condition gives for the acceptable upper frequency of the band the value of about 20 GHz (at the momentum spread equal to the ring dynamic aperture ±0.01). The luminosity of cm 2 s 1 corresponds to about ions per bunch, the effective ion number is about To provide required cooling time the cooling bandwidth can be chosen from 3 to 6 GHz W = 3-6 GHz Kicker - 48 meters upstream the IP-point PU meters upstream the Kicker Slice overlapping (by D.Moehl) 3..6GHz: Tsc~0,5Tibs 2..4 GHz: Tsc~Tibs

27 27/34 Magnets for the Booster: Prototype dipole magnet had been manufactured and successfully tested in May of this year. The first results of the tests had been obtained. The iron yoke of model quadrupole lens had been manufactured. Completion of the lense is planned for August Multipole corrector magnet, a cryostat for the lense and the corrector are under construction. Completion of their construction is planned for November Cryogenic tests of the tandem lense + corrector in the common cryostat is scheduled for the end of this year. Development of the first stage of the system for magnetic measurements scheduled for the end of this year. Collider Magnets: The iron yoke for model dipole magnet had been manufactured. Two coils and cryostat for magnet must be completed in June. Cryogenic test is planned for August - September Manufacturing of the iron yoke for model quadrupole lense and tooling for its coil winding had been started. Status of NICA SC magnets

28 28/34 Installation of the cryostat with the magnet on the bench for the cryogenic test. Cryogenic test facility for superconducting magnets AC losses as a function of the field ramp rate at magnet operation in triangular cycle The quench history of the magnet First test results for booster dipole Доклад Г.Кузнецова

29 29/34 The first quench was occurred at 7705 A. After 13 th quench current reach nominal value 9690 A. This corresponds to the magnetic field induction in the gap of 1.8 T. Further training was stopped because of the limitation of the power supply. The measured static (at zero current) heat flow to the magnet was 5.8 W. AC losses of 12 W were determined by the calorimetric method during magnet operation at triangular cycle with field ramp rate 1.2 T/s without pause. This value agrees well with the calculation and confirms the correct grade of steel for the magnet yoke. Hydraulic resistance of the cooling channel was 2 times higher calculated value due to the fact that the inner tube diameter was 2.6 mm instead of 3 mm. First test results for booster dipole Доклад Г.Кузнецова

32 32/34 Important: - dedicated test bench for injection system (inflector plates) into Booster is in operation; - dedicated prototype of HV platform for Ion sources (PS 225kV/3A) is under assembly; - new system of the whole complex synchronization is under design and construction; - new thermometry and quench detection system for Nuclotron is in progress; - development of electron cooling system for booster is in active phase (could be designed and constructed at BINP). HV electron cooling system for collider is under design with All-Russian Electrotechnical Inst + FZJ + BINP; - … PLANS: Next run at Nuclotron with prolonged period (~1,5 months) is planned for November-December 2011 and beam will be delivered mainly for physicists.
