Integrated design of superconducting accelerator magnets. A case study of the main quadrupole

Abstract: This paper describes the software tool which has been developed for the design of the superconducting magnets for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Applied methods include numerical field calculation with a reduced vector-potential formulation, the application of vector-optimization methods, and the use of genetic as well as deterministic minimization algorithms.Together with the applied concept of features, the software tool is used as an approach towards integrated design of superconducting magnets.

“…There are many commercial and in house computer programs that can carry out these tasks-Poisson [11], Roxie [12], Opera 2D [13] and Pklbl [14] to name a few. The output of such program gives the field, harmonics and a short-sample prediction for the magnet performance as well as providing an output file with the cable coordinates that can usually be uploaded into CAD (Fig.…”

“…A numerical magneto-static model in the field computation program ROXIE [2] is used to determine the sensitivities of the harmonics on tolerances of the collars. In this way, a sensitivity matrix has been derived and is used in combination with the Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the impact on random errors of the field quality.…”

“…In the static model the conductors are excited with a 20 A direct current. This model was created with The Routine for the Optimization of Magnet X-Sections, Inverse Problem Solving and End Region Design (ROXIE) program package developed at CERN [2], and used for the integrated design of superconducting accelerator magnets. The geometry of the coils defined in ROXIE served as a reference for the transient model implemented in OPERA-2D [3].…”
