HTS muon accelerator pulsed technology scooping studies
https://cern.zoom.us/j/7583838641
The purpose of this meeting is to delineate the scope and establish specific objectives for an exploratory research study focused on the utilization of High-Temperature Superconductors (HTS) in superferric magnets. The emphasis will be on applications requiring rapid pulse modulation, specifically tailored to the acceleration stages of muon-based experiments.
Fulvio presented the frame of the study around the possibility of realizing HTS pulsating magnets for the muon accelerator.
The application case is the ring N4 RCS4 among the four required for the full muon acceleration.
The reason for using RCS4 as frame for the study, is that the dB/dt for this are in the range of 500T/s which seems to be close to the numbers reported by the experience from FNAL.
Henryk presented the main results of the FNAL studies of HTS pulsating dipoles.
He presented the results of his calculations of the losses in the dipole magnet proposed by the MAP program and stressed the fact that these magnets may have too many losses in high frequency operation.
He presented a possible realization of a dipole with H shape and two separated circuit with three turn HTS conductor each. According to his calculations a HTS dipole with dB/dt in the order of 500T/s and Bmax=1.75T in the airgap, could be realized.
ACTIONS:
Henryk agreed to provide the preliminary dimension of the H-type dipole to start field computations.
Herman agreed to carry on field computation on the geometry provided by Henryk.
