MOYBA1 | The Future of Superconducting Technology for Accelerators | SRF, collider, cavity, linear-collider | 19 |
|
|||
Superconducting magnets and RF cavities are widely used in accelerators, and future accelerator projects heavily rely on this technology. There may be several questions on the future of the SC technology, concerning the feasibility of very high field dipoles (~15 T or more), possible technology evolution(s) with new materials, operation at higher temperature, and final sustainability of the technology in terms of helium procurement. The talk will cover a brief history/achievements and some interesting (future) developments, partly or fully answering these question. | |||

TUPAB007 | Analysis of the Dependability of the LHC Quench Detection System During LHC Run 2 and Further System Evolution | radiation, operation, software, electronics | 1311 |
|
|||
The quench detection system (QDS) of the LHC superconducting circuits is an essential part of the LHC machine protection and ensures the integrity of key elements of the accelerator. The large amount of hardwired and software interlock channels of the QDS requires a very high system dependability in order to reduce the risk of affecting the successful operation of the LHC. This contribution will present methods and tools for systematic fault tracking and analysis, and will discuss recent results obtained during the LHC production run in 2016. Measures for maintaining and further improving of the system performance will be explained. An overview of the further evolution of the LHC QDS also in view of the upcoming High Luminosity Upgrade of the LHC will be given. | |||

TUPVA023 | Effect of Quench Heater and CLIQ Firing on the Circulating HL-LHC Beam | dipole, quadrupole, simulation, collimation | 2101 |
|
|||
Funding: Research supported by the HL-LHC project. A small vertical orbit oscillation of the LHC beam was observed following a quench of a main dipole magnet. This effect was thought to be caused by the current dis-charged in the quench heater (QH) strips of the superconducting magnet and confirmed in dedicated experiments with beam in the LHC. Quench heater connection schemes with the largest effect have been identified for the LHC and its future HiLumi upgrade (HL-LHC). Furthermore, the impact on the beam following discharges of the Coupling-Loss Induced Quench (CLIQ) system, a novel technology to protect high current superconducting magnets in case of a quench, was studied to evaluate the possible failure cases. |

WEOCB2 | Superconducting Magnets at FAIR | dipole, quadrupole, operation, ion | 2546 |
|
|||
For the FAIR (Facility of Antiproton and Ion Research) accelerators, various technologies of superconducting magnets have been developed. In total, 613 superconducting magnets are required for the FAIR modularized start version. For the heavy ion synchrotron SIS100, which is the central accelerator under construction, fast ramped, iron dominated superconducting magnets of the Nuclotron type will be used. Due to the high beam intensity operation desired for SIS100, highest precision and reproducibility is requested for the iron yoke of these magnets. For the dipole magnets of SIS100 the series production has already been released. In parallel, the Super-FRS will be built for the generation of radioactive beams and for isotope separation. Huge aperture superconducting dipole magnets and multiplet modules are required for the main separator of the Super-FRS. For testing of the various types of sc magnets, three test facilities at GSI, JINR and CERN have been set-up. We give an overview on the modern design aspects for the different magnet types and their first test results and the preparation of the appropriate test facilities. | |||

WEPVA089 | Magnetic Measurement System for the NICA Quadrupole Magnets | quadrupole, booster, controls, collider | 3464 |
|
|||
NICA is a new accelerator collider Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna. More than 250 superconducting magnets need for the NICA booster and collider. These magnets will be assembled and tested at the new test facility in the Laboratory of High Energy Physics JINR. A method of measuring the quality of the magnetic field in the aperture of the quadrupole magnet for the booster synchrotron is described. Commissioning of equipment for magnetic measurements in the aperture of the doublet of quadrupole lenses is described. | |||

WEPVA111 | Change of Critical Current Density in Nb-Ti and Nb3Sn Strands After Millisecond Heating | experiment, dipole, collider, luminosity | 3528 |
|
|||
The damage mechanisms and limits of superconducting magnet components due to direct beam impact are not well understood. The energy deposition from beam losses can cause significant temperature rise and mechanical stress in the magnet coils, which can lead to a degradation of the insulation strength and critical current of the superconductor. An improved understanding of these mechanisms is not only important for the LHC in view of the planned increase in beam brightness, but also for other high energy accelerators using superconducting magnets. An experimental road map has been defined to study these damage mechanisms. Experiments have been performed with Nb-Ti and Nb3Sn strands and cable stacks at room temperature. This contribution focuses on the experimental study on the effect of millisecond heating on superconducting strands. | |||

WEPVA112 | Characterisation of the Mechanical Behaviour of Superconducting Cables Used in High Field Magnets From Room Temperature Down to 77K | dipole, collider, luminosity, cryogenics | 3532 |
|
|||
A comprehensive knowledge of the mechanical properties of the superconducting cable used in high-field magnets is of paramount importance to study and model the behaviour of the magnet coil from assembly to the operational conditions at cryogenic temperature. The mechanical characterisation of such kind of materials presents practical challenges associated with the heterogeneity of the materials, the geometry, size and quality of the samples that can be produced out of actual cables. These constraints impose the undertaking of such measurements from a nonstandard approach, and hence the development of tailor-made tooling. An extensive characterisation campaign for the determination of the mechanical properties of the superconducting cable at room and cryogenic temperature was launched at CERN in order to determine the most relevant mechanical properties of the superconducting cables used in the MQXF and 11T magnets. This paper describes the design of the tooling developed for this specific application as well as the experimental set-up used for the tests, and discusses the outcomes of the matrix of tests performed. | |||

WEPVA143 | Cooling-down and Cooling of Superconducting Magnets at 4.5K with Very Little Liquid Helium using Coolers* | cryogenics, cyclotron, solenoid, factory | 3606 |
|
|||
Funding: This work is supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation. The Michigan State University grant number is PHY0958726. Because liquid helium is often in short supply, it is often difficult to get helium for cooling superconducting magnets that are too large to be cryogen free magnets. Grade A helium is often available in high-pressure bottles, but not in large quantities. This report describes how one can cool-down and maintain a constant temperature of ~4.5 K in a superconducting magnet that has less than 5 L of liquid in the cryostat once it has been filled with liquid helium. One can do this with either GM coolers in the drop-in mode with pulsed tube coolers. The number of coolers needed to cool the magnet depends to the heat load at 4.5 K and the desired cool-down time for the magnet system. This type of cooling system is suitable for magnets that are away from a conventional large helium refrigeration system. Examples are S/C insertion (wigglers and undulators), spectrometer magnets, and ECR ion source magnets. |

THPVA124 | Simulations and Measurements of Proton Beam Energy Spectrum After Energy Degradation | proton, simulation, dipole, cyclotron | 4740 |
|
|||
At the proton therapy facility PROSCAN of the Paul Scherrer Institute the energy modulation of the cyclotron generated proton beam is performed via material insertion into the beam trajectory. The energy spectrum of the particles propagating forwards after such procedure has been simulated and measured. The current paper summarizes the results of these simulations and measurements and illustrates their significance for the future developments of a gantry for proton therapy at the Paul Scherrer Institute. | |||
