[Sbs] [EXTERNAL] Physics impact of modifications to the SBS magnet on upcoming program?

[Brad Sawatzky]

Hi folks,

I thought about asking these during today's RC meeting, but decided
it might be easier to get better answers on the list.

I gather 6 of 10 of the SBS racetrack coils will be bypassed and, at
least in the near term, the magnet will be run at a lower current.

How does this impact the field uniformity (within the acceptance)
and the integrated BdL of SBS?  Is the lower SBS current (1600A?)
intended to be a maximum for this run period (I wasn't sure how to
interpret that discussion).

I believe GEn-RP assumed a BdL of 1.7 T.m at a nominal 2000A.  It
would be good to know well in advance if those assumptions need to
be reworked.


Other important mechanical/engineering items that need to be reviewed
with Jessie and Robin (et al.) include:

- Status and plans for the beamline shielding 'wall' that sits between
  SBS and the beamline and will need to be installed along with the
  GEn-RP detectors.

- Installation and possible mechanical interferences with the SBS
  Rear Field Clamp.
  - This is not presently installed but will need to be installed with
    the GEn-RP detectors.
  - As it stands the new braces between SBS and the beamline corrector
    magnets appear incompatible with the SBS rear field clamp.

- Magnetic forces on the (steel) passive analyzer plate.
  - I know this has been raised several times in the past, but given the
    recent excitement those calculations should probably be reviewed.
