Patrick Noyes (FSU-NHMFL)29/08/2017, 10:45G1 - Quench Detection and Protection SystemsRegular 15 minutes Oral Presentation
The 32T Magnet system, under development at the NHMFL, is a large all superconducting user magnet that is comprised of a 15 T LTS outsert magnet, made by Oxford Instruments, and a 17 T REBCO inner magnet, made by the NHMFL. With the high critical temperature and low quench velocity of REBCO conductors, even at fields as high as 32 T, a large amount of thermal energy must be quickly deposited...

The application of high temperature superconductors for the generation of high magnetic field is still limited by technical issues like quench detection. A novel quench detection technique is developed using Rayleigh backscattering interrogated optical fibers (RIOF). In particular, the technique is based on the comparison of Rayleigh backscattering signals of a reference and perturbed state....

The newly developed concept of Coupling-Loss Induced Quench (CLIQ) used in the domain of superconducting magnets quench protection has opened a new path towards efficient magnet protection. Subsequently to the first trials using ad hoc solutions in order to confirm functionality and performance of the method, two pre-series of three units each with different hardware configurations have been...

Sumitomo Electric has been developing conduction-cooled magnets using Bi2223 wire (DI-BSCCO). Due to high in-field critical current of the wire, the magnets can operate around 20 K. Consequently, iterative excitations and, central field of 10 T or R. T. bore of 300 mm in diameter have been achieved. With respect to reliability of the magnets, quench (thermal runaway) protection might be a...

The dynamic strain/stress characteristics and responds of a low temperature superconducting (LTS) sextupole magnet during excitation, pre and post spontaneous quench are investigated in the present work. The strains are measured by using a half-bridge circuit composed of a cryogenic strain gauge and dummy resistances. The strain gauges are directly embedded within the magnet structure, which...

For future particle colliders at the energy frontier such as the future circular collider for hadron-hadron collisions (FCC-hh), 16 T dipole magnets are needed to maintain the high-energy particle beams on their trajectories. This type of magnet features a very high stored energy density resulting in a challenge from a magnet quench protection perspective. A possible method for improving...
