[en] A 5 cm aperture quadrupole design, the QSE series of magnets were the first to be tested in the Short Magnet and Cable Test Laboratory (SMCTL) at the SSCL. Test performance of the first two magnets of the series are presented, including quench performance, quench localization, strain gage readings, and magnetic measurements.Both magnets behaved reasonably well with no quenches below the collider operating current, four training quenches to plateau, and good training memory between thermal cycles. Future magnets in the QSE series will be used to reduce the initial training and to tune out unwanted magnetic harmonics

[en] Beam line 4B at TRIUMF has been modified to allow production of polarized proton beams of all polarization components (normal, sideways and longitudinal). This was achieved by the installation of two 2.4 T m superconducting solenoids in the cyclotron vault section of the beam line. It was also required to be able to rotate one vault quadrupole. It was found that for longitudinal polarization in beam line 4B the twister could no longer be operated as a unit section. The standard achromatic and dispersed modes of operation of beam lines 4A and 4B are still available. (orig.)
