Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Davide Uglietti, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche, Elena Gaio
In the framework of the DEMOnstration fusion power plant (DEMO) design coordinated by the EUROfusion consortium, a pre-conceptual design of the superconducting magnet system has been developed. For the toroidal field coils (TFCs), three winding pack (WP) o ...
2018HTS high current cable for fusion application
State-of-the-art magnets of fusion devices, which are based on low temperature superconductors (LTS), have almost reached their technological limits in terms of generated magnetic fields. Further progress can be made using novel high temperature supercondu ...

Drazen Dujic, Émilien Luc Henri Coulinge
In a synchrotron accelerator, the beam trajectory is controlled thanks to magnets, where superconducting technology allows to generate very strong magnetic fields. This was a key element in the construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world lar ...
2017Quench Detection and Protection of the HTS Insert Coils
As a result of extremely high upper critical fields B_c2, high temperature superconductors (HTS) have the potential to be used as high field insert coils in magnet systems where the background field is provided by low temperature superconductors (LTS) with ...
EPFL2016Progresses and challenges in the development of high-field solenoidal magnets based on RE123 coated conductors
Recent progresses in the second generation REBa2Cu3O7-x (RE123) coated conductor (CC) have paved a way for the development of superconducting solenoids capable of generating fields well above 23.5 T, i.e. the limit of NbTi-Nb3Sn-based magnets. However, the ...
2014From Conception to Commissioning of EDIPO and SULTAN Quench Detection Systems
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Giancarlo Croari
At CRPP in Villigen (Switzerland), the superconducting windings of the EDIPO and SULTAN test facilities need to be protected in case of quench. The detection of a quench, which triggers the protection circuit, is based on the comparison of the voltages on ...

As a result of extremely high upper critical fields Bc2, high temperature superconductors (HTSs) have the potential to be used as high field insert coils in magnet systems where the background field is provided by low temperature superconductors (LTS). How ...
Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc2014Magnetic Model of the CERN Proton Synchrotron
In this thesis, we present development of the first magnetic model of the main Proton Synchrotron magnets. The operation of the machine and conducting research on increasing its performance require a significant amount of the magnetic field data for the op ...
EPFL2013Physics in magnetic fields from Michael Faraday to Pierre Weiss & his contemporaries
The mechanical action on iron of the first horseshoe electro-magnets (1824) was obvious. They quickly found important applications (telegraphy). Their use to investigate more subtle magnetic, magneto-optical, atomic or nuclear properties of matter began in ...
