Schematic View of the Nuclotron Superconducting Cable
The cable represents a 5 mm diameter coppernicel tube coated with
epoxy compound and wrapped with 31 wires 0.5 mm diameter. Each wire contains
1045 NbTi filamens of 10 microns in a copper matrix.
Nuclotron Superconducting Dipole Magnet
The Nuclotron magnetic system is baised on a magnet of the "Dubna"
type. That is a pulsed superconducting magnet with a "cold" iron ioke
and hollow superconducting winding. The magnet is fastened in the vacuum
shell of the cryostat 540 mm diameter by 8 suspension parts of stainless
steel. Mass - 500 kg, Length - 1462 mm, Magnetic field - 2 T.
Nuclotron Superconducting Quadrupole Magnet
Mass - 200 kg, Aperture - 120x63 mm, Length - 450 mm, SC cable length - 24 m, Gradient - 33.4 T/m.

Nuclotron Ring Lattice
Number of magnets: dipole - 96, quadrupole - 64, corrector - 32.
Nuclotron Ring
The first Nuclotron magnetic element was installed in the accelerator
tunnel in February 1992 and last 160-th magnetic element - in December
1992. The pilot run of the Nuclotron was performed in March 1993. The specific
weight of the SC-magnetic system - 320 kg/m.

Nuclotron Control System Architecture
Present View of Nuclotron Control System
The accelerator local area network includes 21 computers wich are
controled by the Novell Net Server and SUN-station. The data are transmitted
up to 500 m distance between computers.
Nuclotron Main Control Room
Over 50 Kbytes of data are transmitted to the network server from
21 control computers every accelerator cycle of 10 s duration. The main
control room computers permit to observe and control the superconducting
accelerator parameters.
