Technical Specification for the ESR D2 Dipole Magnets
This is a technical specification document (EIC-MSG-SPC-009, Revision 03, effective February 4, 2026) that defines the engineering requirements for ESR D2 Dipole Magnets to be fabricated and delivered for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The specification covers 195 D2 dipole magnets, each weighing approximately 4,500 pounds, designed to store polarized electron beams at constant field/current across energy ranges from 5 GeV to 18 GeV. Key magnet specifications include a maximum pole tip field of 0.375 Tesla, maximum coil current of 556 Amps, and water cooling operating parameters (supply temperature 24-35°C, return temperature 39-50°C, maximum supply pressure 100 psig). The magnet core must be constructed from laminated steel with >95% packing factor, electrically insulated laminations, and core laminations shuffled across production heats to ensure consistent magnetic field strength between units. Laminations are specified with ASTM C-5 coating insulation and must be heat-marked with notches indicating steel lot/heat numbers.
The magnet coils must be fabricated from Oxygen Free High Conductivity (OFHC) copper per ASTM-B170-99 with internal water cooling passages, vacuum impregnated with an epoxy system (preferred formulation specified using Dow Chemical DER 332/DER 736 resins cured with NMA and DMP-30 accelerator), and include both main coils and a separate trim coil assembly. Turn-to-turn insulation utilizes glass fiber tape with half-lap winding, minimum 0.020 inches thick, with additional ground insulation of 1.0mm minimum outer wrap. Coil connections require silver-plated mating surfaces and Parker Fluid brass SAE 45 connectors with 3/16-inch minimum diameter water fittings. Thermal protection consists of two thermal switches per water-cooled coil (part number 3156-009-009 or approved equivalent) set to open at 150°F surface temperature. Acceptance testing includes comprehensive inspection and testing of coils (dimensional, water flow rate, leak checks at >250 psi for 60 minutes, ground insulation at 5000V DC, turn-to-turn insulation impulse testing) and assembled magnets (ground insulation, inter-coil insulation, ohmic resistance, dimensional compliance, and visual inspection). All testing data must be recorded on specified inspection data sheets with associated manufacturer travelers. The magnets must be shipped fully assembled with protective packaging, lifting provisions with 3:1 safety margin, and stress analysis documentation.

Technical Specification for the ESR D2 Dipole Magnets
1 SCOPE
This specification defines the technical requirements for the ESR D2 Dipole Magnets to be used at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) managed by Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA).
1.1 Background
The EIC Project will design, build, and install the accelerator hardware for a new Electron Storage Ring, an electron injector, and modifications to the hadron ring required to produce an electron ion collider and infrastructure. It will include one interaction region, with an allowance for a second, and one detector. The facility is designed to meet requirements to ensure high reliability and availability for the user program.
Conventional beam line accelerator magnets will be used to bend and focus high energy and high intensity electron beams in the EIC Rapid Cycling Synchrotron ring (RCS) and the EIC Electron Storage Ring (ESR). The RCS will be located outside the existing Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) tunnel, while the ESR will be located in the existing tunnel.
1.1.1 Magnet Details
The ESR dipole magnets will store the polarized electron beam for the EIC particle collisions for hours at various energies, depending on the science program, from 5 GeV to 18 GeV. Therefore, the ESR dipoles will operate at constant field/current. These magnets shall be fabricated with high quality laminated steel to provide high field quality. For production magnets all the core laminations from different production heats shall be shuffled in an organized fashion to provide minimal differences in magnetic field strength from magnet to magnet.
2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
The following specifications, standards and drawings form a part of this specification to the extent specified herein. Unless otherwise specified, the issues of these documents shall be that in effect on the date of the solicitation or contract. Exceptions must be approved in writing by BSA.
In the event of a conflict between the applicable documents and this specification, the Contractor shall immediately notify the BSA contract representative who shall in each instance determine which document takes precedence and advise the Contractor accordingly. Failure to notify the BSA contract representative of a document conflict shall not relieve the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure full compliance to all requirements.

f. The turn-to-turn coil insulation shall be tested either by applying 1600 volts peak-to-peak high frequency for one minute across the coil terminals or by applying a 2000-volt peak impulse having a rise time of 1 to 5 microseconds. This is done by switching a capacitor across the terminals of the coil so that a resonant circuit is formed (a method similar to that described in AIEE conference paper No. 57-295, "High Voltage Surge Tests for Detecting Faults Between Turns of Rotating Machines"). There shall be no indication of breakdown between turns, as indicated by a scope trace of the oscillations (see Appendix A figures 1A and 1B). The actual scope trace for each coil must be attached to the data sheet. Results to be recorded as indicated on “COIL INSPECTION DATA SHEET” (Attachment 1).
g. Coil resistance verification from lead end to lead end. Results to be recorded as indicated on “COIL INSPECTION DATA SHEET” (Attachment 1).
4.2.2 Magnet Core Inspection
The magnet core dimensional measurement and visual inspection shall be done for the individual core segments and the assembled magnets to confirm that the cores meet the drawing requirements within the specified tolerance and fabricated in accordance with the technical specification.
4.2.3 Magnet Assembly Inspection and Test
The assembled magnet shall be inspected to verify conformance to the technical specification, the specification control drawings, and the approved manufacturing and assembly drawings. The core of the assembled magnet shall meet the appropriate dimensional and tolerance requirements. The install coils shall be properly supported so they meet the magnet assembly and coil drawing dimensional and tolerance requirements.
4.2.4 Magnet Assembly Electrical Tests
The following electrical tests and checks shall be done on the completed magnet assembly with the cable termination assemblies installed and connected to the coils.
· Ground insulation check: the copper bus of the assembled magnet main coil circuit with jumpers shall be tested to 5 kV with the magnet core as ground. The insulation to ground shall be tested to withstand 5000 volts DC for one minute applied between the conductor and the magnet core assembly. Evidence of insulation breakdown or damage or a leakage current which exceeds 10 microamps at 5000 volts DC shall be cause for rejection. Results to be recorded as indicated on “MAGNET INSPECTION DATA SHEET” (Attachment 1).
· The insulation between the main coil and the trim coil shall be tested after magnet assembly. The magnet coils shall be tested with a 5 kV differential between the main coil copper bus and the trim coil conductor. Evidence of insulation breakdown or damage or a leakage current which exceeds 10 microamps at 5000 volts DC shall be cause for rejection. The trim coil shall also be tested to 5 kV to ground, Results to be recorded on “COIL INSPECTION DATA SHEET” (Attachment 1).
· Ohmic resistance of the completed magnet coil circuit with jumpers between coils installed. Results to be recorded as indicated on “MAGNET INSPECTION DATA SHEET” (Attachment 1).
