Abstract
A 3.0 Tesla, 0.80โm bore magnet replaced our previous 1.9 Tesla, 0.76โm magnet. The 3.0 Tesla replacement magnet had a dipole moment of 1.7 with respect to that of the 1.9 Tesla magnet. The preโexisting cylindrically symmetric passive steel shielding was modified to confine the fringe fields of the replacement magnet to match those of the previous magnet.
A cylindrically symmetric inner shield insert of about 20,000 kg was designed, fabricated, and installed. Upon energization of the magnet, the combined shielding met all design criteria. Alternative designs, optimization of cylindrically symmetric designs, and costs of fabrication, are presented herein.
