Abstract

The GEM Detector magnet at the Superconducting Super Collider is built in two halves each of which is comprised of 12 single layer superconducting coil modules wound on a 19 m mean diameter and joined with a low resistance lap joint employing the superconducting strands and a copper stabilizer. Each joint half is attached to the sheathed, cable-in-conduit conductor end, and assembly of the mating halves is completed in the field. The target resistance per joint is 5 × 10-10Ω at an operating current of 50 kA. Details of the joint design, its cooling and results of tests on prototypical sub-and full-scale models using superconducting strands are presented.
