2. Design of Superconducting magnets for particle accelerators and detectors

Herman Ten Kate (CERN), Paolo Ferracin (CERN)

Abstract
This course covers the design of superconducting magnets for particle accelerators and detectors. The lectures are intended for physicists and engineers working in the areas of magnet technology and applied superconductivity, and interested in basic principles, physical parameters, analytical and numerical tools used for superconducting magnet design. For each of the applications...

1. High Temperature Superconductors: the path from the materials to the technical conductors

Carmine Senatore (University of Geneva), Kenneth Günter (Bruker BioSpin), Matteo Alessandrini (Bruker BioSpin)

Abstract
This course addresses the current state and prospects of high temperature superconductor (HTS) technology. The scope is to illustrate the close synergetic relationship between the development of a deeper understanding of the material properties and the progresses in the conductor technology, with a focus on high field magnet applications. The course is organized in four parts:
1) An...

3. Superconducting electronics - from Josephson effects to quantum computing

Pascal Febvre (Université Savoie Mont Blanc), Paul Seidel (Freidrich-Schiller-Universität Jena)

Abstract
The Josephson effects are the basis for many applications in the field of superconducting electronics. First there will be a discussion of these effects from theoretical aspects up to applications. After introduction of single Josephson junctions different circuits will be introduced like superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) and many junction arrays. Well-established...

5. Superconducting Power Devices

Antonio Morandi (University of Bologna), Mark Ainslie (University of Cambridge), Mathias Noe (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

Abstract
Many power device applications are under development using superconducting materials. Novel designs have been proposed to take advantage of the unique properties of superconducting materials and to achieve higher performance standards compared to conventional power devices. The short course on Superconducting Power Devices will cover Superconducting Fault Current Limiters,...

4. Superconducting RF Cavities

Erk Jensen (CERN)

This 6-hour lecture will start with the basic principles of RF superconductivity. It follows an introduction to cavities - starting from Maxwell's equation, eigenmodes and characteristics of standard (TM-mode elliptical) accelerating cavities will be introduced. After an excursion to non-elliptical cavities, the lecture will introduce the technologies used to fabricate, treat and assemble...
