The Inductive Coupling of the Magnets in MICE and its Effect onQuench Protection

Journal Article · · IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity
OSTI ID:918567

The inductive coupling between various MICE magnet circuits is described. The consequences of this coupling on magnet charging and quenching are discussed. Magnet quench protection is achieved through the use of quench-back. Calculations of the quenching of a magnet due to quench-back resulting from circulating currents induced in the magnet mandrel due to quenching of an adjacent magnet are discussed. This report describes how the MICE magnet channel will react when magnets in that channel are quenched.
