HTS Quadrupole Magnet for the Persistent Current Mode Operation
In this work, a new high-temperature superconducting (HTS) quadrupole magnet with circular coils was designed and built at Fermilab. Several HTS coils were also investigated at the temperature of liquid nitrogen. The main goal of this activity was to investigate the coils and magnet operation in a persistent current mode to reduce accelerator magnets’ capital and operational expenses. To accomplish this, HTS short-circuit coils were used. In the paper, HTS coils and magnet design, fabrication, and tests were discussed. The magnetic field in the magnet aperture and the field decay when the magnet operated in the “frozen flux” mode were measured. The test and simulation results were compared, confirming the advantages of the proposed approach.
