Description
Within the Research Facility 2.0 (RF2.0)* project, one of the objectives is the development of novel permanent-magnet technologies and refurbishment strategies aimed at reducing energy consumption in accelerator facilities. In this context, ALBA, ELYTT, and HZB are jointly developing a tunable quadrupole prototype based on permanent magnets, conceived as a demonstrator for next-generation, energy-efficient magnet systems.
The prototype is designed to achieve high-gradient focusing while drastically reducing power consumption relative to conventional electromagnets, eliminating the need for large coils and water cooling. Its compact architecture also eases integration into densely packed storage-ring lattices. Tunability is provided through a hybrid approach combining movable soft-iron elements and small auxiliary coils, offering a wide operational range with minimal energy demand.
This contribution presents the electromagnetic and mechanical design of the prototype, the assembly strategy, and the current status of the manufacturing and testing.
