 | | The magnets are being built as part of the US program, recommended by the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) and approved by Congress, to contribute to the construction and, later, use of that frontier machine by the US high energy physics community. |
 | | The magnets, some 20 in all, are large: the largest have two, 10 meter long beam pipes with 80 millimeter apertures in a single iron yoke and weigh some 25 tons. |
 | | The coils for all the magnets being built by Brookhaven are the same as those used for the main RHIC bending magnets, but the yokes and containment vessels are new. |
