The High Rigidity Spectrometer at the FRIB: Magnet Development Status
This paper presents the 2025 progress of the High Rigidity Spectrometer (HRS) project at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). We report on the construction and testing of the first-article HRS-High Transmission BeamLine (HTBL) magnets. An HTBL dipole magnet has successfully completed cold testing, achieving full magnetic performance without quenching, and is now ready for field mapping at FRIBs offline test bench. HTBL quadrupole triplet coils have been fabricated and tested, with all coils reaching their design currents, some following initial training quenches. Furthermore, the preliminary design of the large-scale, large-aperture SPectrometer Section (SPS) magnets has progressed to determine the baseline of the downstream HRS-SPS subproject in 2025. This includes the introduction of novel magnet designs, such as the sweeper dipole magnet, the sector dipole magnet, and iron-free coil-dominated quadrupole magnets, representing a significant scale breakthrough and a first for FRIB.
