Abstract:
Magnet Design B for the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) consists of a 5cm diameter collared coil assembly 12m long with concentric aluminum thermal shields at 10K and 80K, a G-10 post type support system and a minimal iron vacuum vessel located at a large radius from the coil. In order to determine the behavior of such a magnet under both direct current and quenching conditions, a 6m model was built using Tevatron tooling to produce a 7.6cm diameter coil. The dc operation demonstrated acceptable rigidity is available in the post type suspension. Distortions in the aluminum thermal shield during quench resulted from stresses in the material below the yield values. Temperature increases in the thermal shield due to eddy currents were larger than calculated using simple assumptions, demonstrating the value of using a model to verify eddy current behavior in complex situations.References(3)
