Current dependence of harmonic field coefficients of 5-cm-aperture, 15-m-long SSC dipole magnet prototypes

Abstract: Eighteen 5-cm-aperture, 15-m-long SSC dipole magnet prototypes have b&n produced and cold tested. On each prototype, the dependence of harmonic field coefficients on magnet current was measured as part of a study of the magnetic field quality. For most of the magnets, the observed behavior conforms to what can be expected from the effects of persistent magnetization currents and iron yoke saturation. A few prototypes, however, exhibited anomalies during current ramp at 4 Ah which can be attributed to large cab… Show more

“…The superconducting magnets, operated in superfluid helium and forming the main part of the LHC ring, will need to be cycled in accordance to maintain the bending and focussing strength required. In particular, the main arc dipole magnets will receive the beam at the injection field of 0.54 T, and will follow its acceleration up to the nominal operating field of 8.36 T. From the experience on other superconducting accelerator magnets (Tevatron 2 , HERA 3 , RHIC 4 and SSC 5 ), and from measurements of the field quality of LHC dipole prototypes, we expect that the field quality in the ring at the low field levels needed at injection will be dominated by the contribution of the magnetization of the superconducting filaments 6 . The LHC performance will be determined by field quality at injection, hence much attention has been paid till now to the prediction and measurement of magnetization effects 7,8 .…”
