For several years an intensive R&D program has been underway to produce a high‐quality dipole magnet suitable for use in ISABELLE, a proton–proton storage accelerator proposed by Brookhaven, which would produce 400‐GeV center‐of‐mass energies. Another colliding‐beam device, PEP, proposed by SLAC, has just been included in the President’s budget for initial construction funds. The Brookhaven device would use superconducting magnets operating at 40 kG (4 Tesla) to reduce the circumference of the rings and the energy required to operate the facility. Recently a prototype superconducting magnet was successfully operated at Brookhaven.
