| Abstract: | A 180‐degree superconducting bending magnet for a synchrotron radiation source has been designed and constructed based on three‐dimensional electromagnetic analysis. The magnet is covered by an iron shield to prevent the leakage of magnetic fields. The liquid helium consumption of the equipment is very small in the persistent current mode. The results of the analysis are in good agreement with measured results. This magnet operates as a synchrotron radiation source at a beam energy of 600 MeV. The radiation source can be used for several applications, such as X‐ray lithography, in the semiconductor industry. © 1998 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 126(1): 61–69, 1999 |
