Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of some quench tests addressed to study the dynamic effects in the 1-m-long 120-mm-aperture Nb₃Sn quadrupole magnet, i.e., HQ02b, designed, fabricated, and tested by the LHC Accelerator Research Program. The magnet has a short sample gradient of 205 T/m at 1.9 K and a peak field of 14.2 T. The test campaign has been performed at CERN in April 2014. In the specific tests, which were dedicated to the measurements of the dynamic inductance of the magnet during the rapid current discharge for a quench, the protection heaters were activated only in some windings, in order to obtain the measure of the resistive and inductive voltages separately. The analysis of the results confirms a very low value of the dynamic inductance at the beginning of the discharge, which later approaches the nominal value. Indications of dynamic inductance variation were already found from the analysis of current decay during quenches in the previous magnets HQ02a and HQ02a2; however, with this dedicated test of HQ02b, a quantitative measurement and assessment has been possible. An analytical model using interfilament coupling current influence for the inductance lowering has been implemented in the quench calculation code QLASA, and the comparisonmore »« less

Quench protection study of the updated MQXF for the LHC luminosity upgrade (HiLumi LHC)

Journal Article Marinozzi, Vittorio ; Ambrosio, Giorgio ; Ferracin, Paolo ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity

In 2023, the LHC luminosity will be increased, aiming at reaching 3000 fb-1 integrated over ten years. To obtain this target, new Nb₃Sn low-β quadrupoles (MQXF) have been designed for the interaction regions. These magnets present a very large aperture (150 mm, to be compared with the 70 mm of the present NbTi quadrupoles) and a very large stored energy density (120 MJ/m³). For these reasons, quench protection is one of the most challenging aspects of the design of these magnets. In fact, protection studies of a previous design showed that the simulated hot spot temperature was very close tomore »« less

The HL-LHC Low-β Quadrupole Magnet MQXF: From Short Models to Long Prototypes

Journal Article Ferracin, Paolo ; Ambrosio, Giorgio ; Anerella, Michael ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity

Among the components to be upgraded in LHC interaction regions for the HiLumi-LHC projects are the inner triplet (or low-β) quadrupole magnets, denoted as Q1, Q2a, Q2b, and Q3. Here, the new quadrupole magnets, called MQXF, are based on Nb3Sn superconducting magnet technology and operate at a gradient of 132.6 T/m, with a conductor peak field of 11.4 T. Q1 and Q3 are composed of magnets (called MQXFA) fabricated by the U.S. Accelerator Upgrade Project (AUP), with a magnetic length of 4.2 m. Q2a and Q2b consist of magnets (called MQXFB) fabricated by CERN, with a magnetic length of 7.15more »« less

Magnetic quench antenna for MQXF quadrupoles

Journal Article Marchevsky, Maxim ; Sabbi, GianLuca ; Prestemon, Soren ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity

High-field MQXF-series quadrupoles are presently under development by LARP and CERN for the upcoming LHC luminosity upgrade. Quench training and protection studies on MQXF prototypes require a capability to accurately localize quenches and measure their propagation velocity in the magnet coils. The voltage tap technique commonly used for such purposes is not a convenient option for the 4.2-m-long MQXF-A prototype, nor can it be implemented in the production model. We have developed and tested a modular inductive magnetic antenna for quench localization. The base element of our quench antenna is a round-shaped printed circuit board containing two orthogonal pairs ofmore »« less

Magnetic Analysis of the MQXF Quadrupole for the High Luminosity LHC

Journal Article Izquierdo Bermudez, S. ; Fiscarelli, L. ; Ambrosio, G. ; ... - TBD

The high-luminosity upgrade of the large hadron collider (HL-LHC) requires new high-field and large-aperture quadrupole magnets for the low-beta inner triplets (MQXF). The US Hilumi-LHC Accelerator Upgrade (HL-LHC AUP) and CERN are jointly developing a 150 mm aperture Nb3Sn magnet. Due to the large beam size and orbit displacement in the final focusing triplet, MQXF has challenging field quality targets at collision energy. Magnetic measurements have been performed both at ambient and cryogenic temperatures in the four short models built and tested. This paper presents the magnetic analysis, comparing field measurements with the expectations and the field quality requirements. Themore »« less

Fabrication of First 4-m Coils for the LARP MQXFA Quadrupole and Assembly in Mirror Structure

Journal Article Holik, Eddie Frank ; Ambrosio, Giorgio ; Anerella, Michael ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity

The US LHC Accelerator Research Program is constructing prototype interaction region quadrupoles as part of the US in-kind contribution to the Hi-Lumi LHC project. The low-beta MQXFA Q1/Q3 coils have a 4-m length and a 150 mm bore. The design is first validated on short, one meter models (MQXFS) developed as part of the longstanding Nb3Sn quadrupole R&D by LARP in collaboration with CERN. In parallel, facilities and tooling are being developed and refined at BNL, LBNL, and FNAL to enable long coil production, assembly, and cold testing. Long length scale-up is based on the experience from the LARP 90more »« less
