An extracted beam current of ~ 25 ??A of ~ 575 MeV protons from the modified Nevis Synchrocyclotron will strike two meson producing targets before coming to rest in a beam stop. The quadrupole and dipole transport magnets viewing the targets at close range might absorb 1010-1011 rad/yr. or more. Conventional coil insulating techniques employing epoxy, fiberglass, alumina filled matrices can withstand,...
