Quenches are a major issue for superconducting magnets because of their high current density which translates to high stored magnetic energy and eventually heat dissipation that may cause irreversible damage if left unadressed. The objective of this work is to describe the experimental demonstration of a novel quench detection and protection principle, combining a superconducting coil with a...
Accelerator projects aimed at enhancing technological innovations are a necessity for the accelerator community to build the future machines for research and industrial applications. Additive manufacturing (AM), as a promising tool to provide larger design freedom than conventional manufacturing techniques, has been explored already several years. Riga Technical University (RTU) experience,...
Fundamental research in high-energy physics (HEP) requires the distribution, processing and storage of a truly huge amount of data collected by the large experiments situated at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Furthermore, the statistical nature of this research requires an equally vast amount of Monte-Carlo (MC) sample generation. To cope with the immense computing resource demands...
