Results of the First Technological Run of the Superconducting Booster Synchrotron of the NICA Accelerator Complex
摘要
This paper presents the results of the first technological run of the Booster synchrotron of the NICA accelerator complex located at the Veksler and Baldin Laboratory of High Energy Physics of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. The megascience NICA project is a complex comprising a chain of accelerators and a collider ring with two interaction points, MPD (Multi-Purpose Detector) and SPD (Spin Physics Detector), designed to study interactions of two colliding beams. Within the accelerator chain, the first circular superconducting accelerator is the Booster synchrotron. The accelerator consists of 41 dipole magnets, 48 quadrupole lenses, and 32 corrector magnets (24 dipole and 8 multipole). The total cold mass of the accelerator is 61.44 t.
