Analysis of Nb3Sn Accelerator Magnet Training
Nb3Sn accelerator magnet technology has made s i gnificant progress during the past decades. For the first time, it is planned to be used in a real accelerator. A relatively small number of Nb3Sn quadrupoles and dipoles will be installed in the LHC to increase machine luminosity. Although it will prove the possibil ity of using Nb3Sn magnets in real machines, many questions of scal - ing this technology up remain. One of them is related to slow training of Nb3Sn magnets compared to the traditional Nb-Ti accele rator magnets. Since the goal is to operate thousands of Nb3Sn magnets in a future post-LHC accelerator, the slow training will affe ct both the practical design margin and the nominal operation f i eld. Consequently, the cost of the project to reach the designfieldle ve l is also increased. To improve our understanding of slow magnet training the existing Fermilab data from Nb3Sn magnet tests we re re-analyzed. A summary of coil training features and correlations with fabrication parameters observed is presented in this paper.
