- Ignacio Aviles Santillana (CERN)
The powering of the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) magnets will rely on eight Cold Powering Systems incorporating Superconducting Links (SC Links) based on MgB2 cables. These cables are housed in compact and flexible vacuum-insulated pipes and transfer, via multiple cable configurations feeding circuits rated at currents ranging from 0.6 to 18 kA, total DC currents of about 120 kA at up to 25 K....
The high-temperature superconducting magnetic energy storage device can realize the rapid support of the grid voltage and frequency, and has a good application prospect in the new energy grid. In order to reduce the leakage magnetic field of the energy storage magnet, the large superconducting energy storage magnet can adopt a toroidal magnet structure. At the same time, in order to improve...
With the increasing requirements of the operating parameter of DEMO fusion devices to realize power generation, the Toroidal Field (TF) magnet is required to withstand a substantial thermal load. BEST (Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak), a novel Tokamak machine in China, has been developed to achieve Deuterium-Tritium fusion. The maximum fusion power is 130MW and the nuclear...
Future, multi-km particle accelerator projects will be under heavy scrutiny to be energetically sustainable. Compared to previous accelerators, these machines must sustain increasingly high beam-induced, static and dynamic heat loads per meter length. These features make the cryogenic infrastructure required for superconducting magnet operation a major cost and energy driver. The choice of a...
The High Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will require the replacement of the final focusing superconducting magnets, the implementation of new superconducting links to power the magnets and the implementation of new superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) crab cavities, totalizing a length of about 150 m on both sides of the collision points of the ATLAS (P1) and of the...
For the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project, the final focusing Inner Triplet (IT) superconducting magnets of the LHC will be replaced by a new 60 m-long set of higher performance Nb3Sn magnets that will operate at 1.9 K in pressurised He II. A test facility, the HL-LHC IT String, is currently being built to validate the collective behaviour of these new magnets and of the related systems. A...
In Darmstadt, Germany, the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) is presently under construction. One of the most complex machines is the SIS100, a synchrotron with a circumference of 1100 metres. The magnets for SIS100 are superconducting magnets, using an internally cooled superconducting cable.
Since the accelerating structures for heavy ions are normal conducting and have to be...
