Characterization of Magnetic Steels for the FCC-ee Magnet Prototypes

At the European Organization for the Nuclear Research (CERN), several efforts were combined for a preliminary design of a new accelerator, the Future Circular Collider (FCC), a 100-TeV double-ring hadron collider to be installed in a 100-km tunnel. As potential intermediate step, a high-luminosity lepton collider called FCC-ee is foreseen with more than 9,000 magnets. This paper provides an insight into the magnetic properties of the steels, potentially considered for the new dipole magnets, with nominal field of only 56 mT. The influence of the properties of these steels on the magnet transfer function has been assessed analytically using an equivalent reluctance network to model the first 1-m long dipole prototypes. The analytical results were validated experimentally. The proposed approach can be a useful tool for traceability and quality control during the series production.
