One of the biggest goals for the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) is the steady state operation. For this reason all its coils will be superconducting and Nb3Sn material is used for both the toroidal field (TF) and the central soleno ...
Spurred by the question of the maximum allowable energy for the operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we have progressed in the understanding of the thermo-electric behavior of the 13 kA superconducting bus bars interconnecting its main magnets. A ...
Iron-based superconductors could be useful for electricity distribution and superconducting magnet applications because of their relatively high critical current densities and upper critical fields. SmFeAsO0.8F0.15 is of particular interest as it has the h ...
Coated conductors are promising material for the construction of high field magnets, but the slow propagation velocity of the normal zone makes the protection against quenches a critical issue. The quench protection system for a small insert coil under dev ...
NbTi-based Rutherford cables are used in the coils of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) magnets. These cables are designed to operate with currents up to 13 kA at temperatures of 1.9 K. Beam losses can locally heat the superconducting cables above the critic ...
Superconducting magnets can exhibit training quenches during successive powering to reaching nominal performance. The slip-stick motion of the conductors is considered to be one of the mechanisms of training. In this paper we present a simple quantitative ...
Grégory Savioz is working in collaboration with Logitech. The goal of his work is to develop a "haptique" keyboard. A functional prototype of one key was already realized. Till now a hall sensor was used to measure the position of the key. The prototype co ...
Cabled conductors based on Nb3Sn technology with operating current in the range of 20 kA and above are mainly restricted to fusion magnets and high field facilities. The experience of last decade has dramatically shown that, opposite to the NbTi conductors ...
Collimation is essential in a high Energy and Intensity hadron collider with SuperConducting magnets, like the LHC at CERN. To improve the cleaning efficiency and to reduce the LHC impedance budget in stable condition and at top Energy, additional 30 Phase ...
An existing Nb3Sn laboratory magnet generating a magnetic field of 12 T is intended to be upgraded to 16 T by means of the use of a high temperature superconductor (HTS) insert coil. An outline design of the HTS insert coil is presented. In the design, the ...
