The superconducting magnets, intended for use in the LHC High Luminosity (HL-LHC) project at CERN are based on Nb3Sn technology. Powering of prototypes of such magnets with up to tens of kilo-Amperes is required for detailed studies of the quench behavior as well as an evaluation of the associated magnet protection equipment. For this purpose an ultra-fast energy extraction system is needed in order...
CERN is currently commissioning the world's largest particle accelerator, the large hadron collider (LHC). The machine makes extensive use of superconducting technology for magnets, busbars and current leads. It is built in a circular tunnel of 27 km circumference, ready to receive proton beams in the summer of 2008. In case of a resistive transition (quench) in a superconducting magnet or busbar...
