Fabrication and test of COMB dipole magnet with STAR® wires

Fermilab is working on superconducting accelerator magnet R&D under the framework of the U.S. MagnetDevelopment Program (USMDP). An integral part of that program is High Temperature Superconducting (HTS)accelerator magnet development to- demonstrate HTS self‐fields of 5 T or greater- be compatible with operation in hybrid LTS/HTS configuration• to probe fields beyond 16 T for future High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments

Conductor on molded barrel magnet assembly and associated systems and methods

A Conductor on Molded Barrel (COMB) magnet assembly optimized for High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) materials. The magnet assembly comprises a magnetic coil(s) carried by a conductor support structure and configured in cosine-theta geometry. Created using additive manufacturing, the conductor support structure features a continuous cable channel that fittedly carries and positions elongated straight portion(s) of the magnetic coil(s) parallel to a magnetic axis. The conductor support structure may be cylindrically shaped and longitudinally bored, with the continuous cable channel comprising an outer channel portion (distal on the cylinder) and an inner channel portion (proximal on the cylinder). A transition hole that joins the outer channel portion and the inner channel portion allows a single magnetic coil to be wound along both the outer and inner surfaces of the conductor support structure. The conductor support structure may be fabricated as longitudinally-symmetrical halves, and secured for operation using azimuthal and/or midplane shims.

MDPCT1 Quench Data and Performance Analysis

MDPCT1 is a four-layer cos-theta Nb3Sn dipole demonstrator developed and tested at FNAL in the framework of the U.S. Magnet Development Program. The magnet reached record fields for accelerator magnets of 14.1 T at 4.5 K in the first test and 14.5 T at 1.9 K in the second test and then showed large degradation. While its inner coils performed exceptionally well with only two quenches up to 14.5 T and no evidence of degradation, the outer coils degraded over the course of testing. By adopting new measurement and analysis techniques at FNAL we are discussing in detail what happened. Both success and failure in our diagnostics are discussed. The evolution of techniques over the course of two tests (and three thermal cycles) shows the path to address challenges brought by the first four-layer magnet tested at FNAL. This paper presents the analysis of quench data along with diagnostic features and complementary measurements taken in support of the magnet performance analysis.
