Reassembly and Test of High-Field Nb 3 Sn Dipole Demonstrator MDPCT1

In the framework of the U.S. Magnet Development Program (MDP), Fermilab has developed and tested a high-field Nb3Sn dipole demonstrator MDPCT1 for a post-LHC Hadron Collider. The magnet was first assembled with a lower coil pre-load to minimize the risk of coil damage during assembly and test. In the first test the magnet reached its test goal producing a world record field of 14.1 T at 4.5 K. Next the magnet was reassembled with nominal pre-load to achieve its design field limit of 15 T. This paper describes the details of MDPCT1 inspection, design modifications and reassembly. The magnet quench performance, including training, ramp rate and temperature dependences in the temperature range of 1.9-4.5 K, is presented and discussed.
