Precise Thermometry for Next Generation LHC Superconducting Magnet Prototypes

Abstract: Abstract-The next generation of LHC superconducting magnets is very challenging and must operate in harsh conditions: high radiation doses in a range between 10 and 50 MGy, high voltage environment of 1 to 5 kV during the quench, dynamic high magnetic field up to 12 T, dynamic temperature range 1.8 K to 300 K in 0.6 sec. For magnet performance and long term reliability it is important to study dynamic thermal effects, such as the heat flux through the magnet structure, or measuring hot spot in conductors durin… Show more

“…The coil stability was excellent, even with Lorentz forces of 50 % higher than nominal at a current of 7.5 kA. The magnet is supported by eight Invar tie-rods that account for about 60 % of the total thermal load of 5 W [3]. A strain of 20 to 155 μm/m was measured on the rods and no sign of degradation has been observed during the 20000 cycles, see …”

“…The small influence of the exact geometrical position of the coil on the magnetic field quality in the bore makes the co-winding relatively easy. Precise thermometry by Carbon-Ceramic resistive temperature probes is performed to measure the thermal loads on the system [3]. Unfortunately the obtained precision of the enthalpy measurement of the helium was limited by the accuracy of the pressure gauges of ± 0.05 bar, which limited the measurement accuracy of the helium enthalpy.…”
