Description

The upgrade of the Swiss SLS towards the SLS 2.0 ring belongs to the worldwide major upgrade/new construction programs to increase the ring performance by approximately two orders of magnitude. At two locations along the ring, the 1.35 T permanent bending magnets will be replaced by superconducting bending magnets (named SUPERBEND)) with a peak field up to 5 T. The two SUPERBEND magnets were built by SIGMAPHI and delivered to PSI in November and December 2025. The paper presents the design, manufacturing and testing of the superconducting magnets.
