TUZB02 Prospects for the use of HTS in High-field Magnets for Future Accelerator Facilities 974

  The enthusiasm that followed the discovery of High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) and the hope that they could replace Low Temperature Superconductors (LTS) was damped by low current-carrying capacity, short piece lengths, and fragility of the brittle oxide materials. Development of applications was mainly on devices less demanding of conductor performance. However, with continuing development, progress was made with the cuprate superconductors, and long lengths of BSCCO 2223 and REBCO tape conductors are now commercially available. Progress has also been made in the development of BSSCO 2212 round wire, where implementation of a new production process has led to a breakthrough in performance. Though still at the research level, attainments in material synthesis and theoretical understanding of iron-based materials may lead to their development into practical superconductors, featuring high upper critical field and low anisotropy. A review of the potential of HTS as applied to accelerators is presented, with a focus on using the presently available materials and on the perceived needs for further development.

  A cryogenic undulator with a permanent magnet (CPMU) is an important insertion device now under construction at NSRRC. For an undulator of this kind, the distribution of the magnetic field must be measured along the axis; the phase error, trajectory and photon flux must be calculated after the magnetic arrays are installed in the vacuum chamber and cooled to cryogenic temperature. We developed a Hall-probe system to measure the magnetic field in an evacuated environment; this system uses lasers and stages to monitor and to correct dynamically the positions of the Hall probe. All components installed inside the vacuum chamber are compatible with an environment of high vacuum and low temperature. The details of the design and completed fabrication are presented in this paper.

  A 3.5 Tesla 64 mm period superconducting wiggler (SCW) was constructed by the Russian Budker Institute of Novosibirsk (BINP) and installed in the Elettra storage ring as a photon source for the second X-ray diffraction beamline in November 2002, but never used due to the lack of the funding required for the beamline construction. About three years ago, the beamline construction was finally funded together with the refurbishment of the SCW. This upgrade, that was necessary in order to make the SCW operations compatible with the top up mode of the storage ring aimed in a drastic reduction of the liquid helium consumption by means of replacing the cryostat with a new version. At the same time the upgrade aimed as well to improve the reliability of the cryostat, to update the control system and to verify the magnetic field performance after a very long time of inactivity. In this paper we present and discuss the performances of the SCW following its refurbishment carried out by BINP team and its re-commissioning in the Elettra storage ring.

  SuperKEKB is an upgrade accelerator of KEKB with a design luminosity of 8x1035 cm-2 s-1. The design is based on a "nano-beam scheme", where vertical beam size is squeezed into 50 nm at an interaction point. One of key component is a final focus magnet system. The focusing system consists of 4-superconducting (SC) quadrupole doublets, 43 SC-correctors, 4 SC-compensation solenoids. They are aligned in a detector (Belle-II) solenoid which generates a longitudinal field of 1.5 T. The system are packed in a small area and also has magnetic shields. So it is expected an entire magnetic field of the system is not one which is linearly-superimposed field of each magnet. Here a study of three dimensional field analysis for the final focus magnet system will be presented.

  SuperKEKB are now being constructed with a target luminosity of 8×1035 which is 40 times higher than KEKB. This luminosity can be achieved by the "Nano-Beam" scheme, in which both beams should be squeezed to about 50 nm at the beam interaction point, IP. The beam final focusing system consists of 8 superconducting quadrupole magnets, 4 superconducting solenoids and 43 superconducting corrector coils. The magnetic field measurement systems with the vertical cryostats were designed and constructed for performing the acceptance test of these magnets at 4 K. The field measurements are performed by the 6 different harmonic coils and a Hall probe. The higher order multi-pole field distributions along the magnet axes are very important for the beam operation, and then these distributions are measured with the 20 mm long harmonic coils. The integral fields of quadrupole magnets are measured with the 600 mm long harmonic coils. We will describe the magnetic field measurement system.

  Superconducting multipole wigglers installed on synchrotron radiation sources are the powerful tools for researches in various areas of science and technics. SuperConducting Multipole Wigglers (SCMWs) represent sign-alternating sequence of magnets with lateral magnetic field. Relativistic electrons, passing through such set of magnetic elements, create radiation with properties of synchrotron radiations depending on maximum field its period and poles number. The first superconducting wiggler has been made and installed on the VEPP-3 electron storage ring as generator of synchrotron radiation in 1979. Nowadays tens of wigglers are successfully working in the various synchrotron radiation centers and more than 10 of them were developed and made in Budker INP. These wigglers may be divided into 3 groups: 1- Short period 3-3.5 cm with field ~2-2.5 Tesla 2- Medium period 4.8-6 cm with field ~ 3.5-4.5 Tesla 3- Long period 14.5-20 cm with field 7-7.5Tesla. The description of magnetic properties of the wigglers, parameters of both cryogenic and vacuum systems and their technical decisions are presenteded in the report.

  A test program for beam induced quenches was started in the LHC in 2011 in order to reduce as much as possible BLM-triggered beam dumps, without jeopardizing the safety of the superconducting magnets. A first measurement was performed to assess the quench level of a quadrupole located in the LHC injection region in case of fast (ns) losses. It consisted in dumping single bunches onto an injection protection collimator located right upstream of the quadrupole, varying the bunch intensity up to 3·1010 protons and ramping the quadrupole current up to 2200 A. No quench was recorded at that time. The test was repeated in 2013 with increased bunch intensity (6·1010 protons); a quench occurred when powering the magnet at 2500 A. The comparison between measurements during beam induced and quench heaters induced quenches is shown. Results of FLUKA simulations on energy deposition, calculations on quench behaviour using QP3 and the respective estimates of quench levels are also presented.

  The first LHC long shutdown was driven by the need to consolidate the 13 kA splices between the superconducting magnets to safely attain its center of mass design energy of 14 TeV. Access to the splices requires the opening of welded sleeves by machining. After consolidation, the sleeves are re-welded using a TIG orbital welding. The welding process has been modified from the original “as-new” installation in order to better adapt to the “as repaired” situation. The intervention has been thoroughly prepared through qualifications, organisation of teams, their training and follow-up. Quality control is based on the qualification of equipment, process and operators; the recording of production parameters; regular process audits and production witness samples; visual inspection through an official certifying body. The paper also describes welding and quality control of special intervention cases, with issues of difficult access requiring innovative solutions. This work concerns over 10 000 welds and a team of 40 engineers and technicians over a period of 18 months. The experience and lessons learnt will be applicable to similar large complex projects.

The interaction region design of the High-Luminosity LHC requires replacing the recombination dipole magnets (D2) with new ones. The preliminary specifications include an aperture of 105 mm, with 186 mm separation between the twin-aperture axes, and an operating field in the range of 3.5 to 4.5 T. The main design challenge is to decouple the magnetic field in the two apertures and ensure good field quality. In this paper, we present a new approach to address these issues, and provide expected harmonics for geometric, saturation and persistent current effects. The feasibility of an operating field at the high end of the range considered is also discussed, to minimize the D2 magnet length and facilitate the space allocation for other components.

  The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab is designed to explore charged lepton flavor violation by searching for muon-to-electron conversion. The magnetic field generated by a system of solenoids is crucial for Mu2e and requires accurate characterization to detect any flaws and to produce a detailed field map. Stringent physics goals are driving magnetic field specifications for the Mu2e solenoids. A field mapper is being designed, which will produce detailed magnetic field maps. The uniform field region of the spectrometer volume requires the highest level of precision (1 Gauss per 1 Tesla). During commissioning, multiple magnetic field maps will be generated to verify proper alignment of all magnet coils, and to create the final magnetic field map. In order to design and build a precise field mapping system consisting of Hall and NRM probes, tolerances and precision for such a system need to be evaluated. In this paper we present a design for the Mu2e field mapping hardware, and discuss results from OPERA-3D simulations to specify parameters for Hall and NMR probes. We also present a fitting procedure for the analytical treatment of our expected magnetic measurements.

This paper reports the results of experimental studies of key quench protection parameters including longitudinal and radial quench propagation in the coil, coil heating due to a quench, and energy extraction and quench-back effect. The studies were performed using a 1 m long 11 T Nb3Sn dipole coil tested in a magnetic mirror configuration.

  Helical solenoids have been proposed as an option for a Helical Cooling Channel for muons in a proposed Muon Collider. Helical solenoids can provide the required three main field components: solenoidal, helical dipole, and a helical gradient. In general terms, the last two are a function of many geometric parameters: coil aperture, coil radial and longitudinal dimensions, helix period and orbit radius. In this paper, we present design studies of a Helical Solenoid, addressing the geometric tunability limits and auxiliary correction system.

This paper describes the development and demonstration of a novel technique of adjusting measured field quality at the design field in superconducting magnets. The technique is based on placing iron shims of variable stack thicknesses, variable width and/or variable length on the outer surface of the stainless steel shell at strategic locations. Since the shims are placed outside the helium vessel, adjustments can be made without involving major operations such as opening the helium vessel. It is a simple and economical technique which is suitable for long magnets with a fast turn-around. This allows one to reduce field errors well beyond the normal construction errors. The technique has recently been successfully applied in two 3.8 T, 80 mm aperture, 9.45 m long dipoles. These magnets were built at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for the APUL project (Accelerator Project to Upgrade the LHC) as a part of US contribution to LHC. The paper will present the design, measurement and adaptation of this technique which, when used in combination with the coil shims, produced near zero sextupole harmonic at high fields and small harmonics throughout the range of operation.

WEPRI102 Conceptual Magnetic Design of the Large Aperture D2 Dipole for LHC Upgrade 2737

CERN has proposed the High Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) as an upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). As a part of this proposal, the aperture of twin aperture D2 dipole is increased from the present 80 mm to 105 mm without increasing the size of cryostat. This creates a significant challenge in managing saturation induced harmonics and the leakage field, particularly since the field in the two apertures is in the same direction. In addition, small spacing between the two apertures creates significant cross-talk harmonics as well. The expected harmonics based on an initial design were rather large and limited the beam dynamics performance of the machine. This paper will present a series of conceptual magnetic designs which reduce the values of key harmonics by a large amount with expected field errors now comparable to those in most superconducting accelerator magnets.

An essential part of a potential future muon collider is ionization cooling, which is required to reduce the emittance of the muon beam. A new scheme has recently been proposed which in simulations shows an improved performance in terms of cooling efficiency and transmitted muons. The lattice of this cooling channel consists of 12 stages, each of which requires different superconducting solenoids. The most challenging stage is the last one, where the solenoids are expected to deliver 15.1T in a bore of ~4.5 cm. This paper discusses the feasibility of the solenoids for the last stage of this lattice.
