II.3 — Normal conducting magnets

This chapter aims to provide the guidance and tools necessary to carry out the analytical design of a simple accelerator magnet. As the chapter unfolds, we will explain some basic concepts, magnet types, and important aspects to consider before moving on to the actual design phase. The central part of this chapter is dedicated to a step-by-step explanation of how to develop a basic magnet design. We will cover a range of subjects like the layout of the magnetic circuit, excitation coils and cooling circuits, along with a short introduction to materials for the yoke and coil construction to complement this topic. The chapter also includes a practical part with problems and a case study for the reader to solve independently. Having worked through this chapter, the reader should be able to design an elementary magnet according to their needs.
