Recent results from the LHC inner triplet quadrupole developmentprogram at Fermilab

Fermilab, in collaboration With LBNL and BNL, is in the process of developing a focusing quadrupole for installation in the interaction region inner triplets of the LHC. This magnet is required to have an operating gradient of 215 T/m across a 70 mm coil bore, and operates in superfluid helium at 1.9 K. The design is based on a two layer cos (20) coil, mechanically supported by standalone steel collars. The collared coil assembly is surrounded by a iron yoke for flux return, and the assembly enclosed by a stainless steel shell. The development program has addressed mechanical, magnetic, quench protection, and thermal issues, through a series of model magnets constructed at Fermilab. This paper summarizes results from the recent model tests, and the status of the program     

Mechanical design and analysis of LHC inner triplet quadrupolemagnets at Fermilab

A series of model magnets is being constructed and tested at Fermilab in order to verify the design of high gradient quadrupole magnets for the LHC interaction region inner triplets. The 2 m models are being built in order to refine the mechanical and magnetic design, optimize fabrication and assembly tooling, and ensure adequate quench performance. This has been carried out using a complementary combination of analytical and FEA modeling, empirical tests on 0.4 m mechanical assemblies and testing of model magnets during fabrication and under cryogenic conditions. The results of these tests and studies have led to improvements in the design of the magnet end restraints, to a preferred choice in coil end part material, and to a better understanding of factors affecting coil stress throughout the fabrication and operational stages     

LHC interaction region quadrupole cryostat production, alignment, and performance summary

The cryostat of a large hadron collider (LHC) interaction region (IR) quadrupole magnet consists of all components of the inner triplet except the magnet assembly itself. It serves to support the magnet accurately and reliably within the vacuum vessel, to provide all required cryogenic piping, and to insulate the cold mass from heat radiated and conducted from the environment. The major components of the cryostat are the vacuum vessel, thermal shield, multi-layer insulation system, cryogenic piping, interconnections, and suspension system. While responsibility for the design and manufacture of the main quadrupole elements is divided between Fermilab and KEK, Fermilab alone is responsible for the design and final assembly of the cryostat for the LHC inner triplets. This paper describes the experience gained during fabrication of the first complete Q2 magnets, the alignment operation and results, and the cryogenic performance of the magnet on the test stand at Fermilab.     

Status of the production of the LHC superconducting corrector magnets

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be equipped with a large number (6400) of superconducting corrector magnets. These magnets are powerful, with typical peak fields of 3-4 T on the coils, but at the same time compact and of low cost. There are many types: sextupoles, octupoles and decapoles to correct the main dipole field, dipoles, quadrupoles, sextupoles and octupoles to condition the proton beams and several nested correctors from dipole to dodecapole in the inner triplets. The sizes vary from 6 kg, 110 mm long, nested decapole-octupole spool pieces to 1800 kg, 1.4 m long, trim quadrupoles. The fabrication of the 11 different types of magnets is assured by 10 contracts placed at 6 firms, two of which are in India. A number of magnets are now in series production, others in their pre-series production. The paper describes the present state of the fabrication and the testing of these magnets.

Design and fabrication of a 1 m model of the 70 mm bore twinaperture superconducting quadrupole for the LHC insertions

For reasons of geometrical acceptance, 70 mm bore twin aperture quadrupoles are required in the LHC insertions. For an operating gradient of 160 T/m at 4.5 K, a design based on a four layer coil wound from two graded 8.2 mm NbTi conductors has been developed. Three 1 m single aperture quadrupoles of this design have been built and successfully tested. Thereafter, the magnets have been disassembled and the coils re-collared using self-supporting collars. In this paper, we describe the design features of the twin aperture quadrupole, and report on the initial collaring tests and procedures for collaring and final assembly of the 1 m magnet     

Some Reliability Characteristics of CRT Cathode Assemblies

Six types of CRT cathode assembly are described, including the traditional cap-cylindrical shank-ceramic wafer assemblies which have been in use for many years and two of the more modern heat-shield assemblies. The range of operating temperature is no larger than 60 K for either of the heat-shield assemblies and may be as large as 295 K for the older types. Spontaneous variations in temperature of up to 97 K, downward drifts in temperature of as much as 40 K after peak temperature has been reached, and increases of up to 154 K as a result of reprocessing have been observed. These effects are generally much smaller with the heat-shield assemblies. The 60 K range of the heat-shield assemblies implies a variability of more than 4 to 1 in life and performance. The ranges of the older assemblies imply a variability of from 64 to 1 to more than 1000 to 1. The spontaneous variations in temperature are responsible for appreciable changes in the grid bias required to obtain a fixed value of beam current, or, conversely, large changes in the beam current obtained at a fixed grid bias.     

Superconducting magnet system containing Bi-2212/Ag Coil Generates 21.8 T at 1.8K

We fabricated a Bi-2212/Ag double stacked pancake coil of 13 mmØ) in inner bore and of 46.5 mmØ in outer diameter, by using Bi-2212/Ag tapes prepared by the combination of continuous dip-coating process and melt-solidification technique. This small superconducting magnet was used as an insert magnet of a conventional superconducting magnet system and tested at saturated superfluid helium temperature (～ 1.8K) in various bias fields. The generated field of Bi2212/Ag coil was 0.9 T, with I_c of 310 A(criterion 10^-13Ω·m), in the bias field of 20.9 T. Thus, this superconducting magnet system achieved generation of magnetic field of 21.8 T in the full superconducting state.     

New design concept of the magnet system generating the high pulsed field in combination with the bias field of the superconducting magnet

A new design concept of the axisymmetric magnet system generating the very high pulsed magnetic field which is superimposed on the bias magnetic field of the superconducting magnet is presented. The pulsed magnet consists of two coaxial coils which are wound in opposite directions. The geometry of both pulsed coils, i.e. the working (inner) one and the compensating (outer) one is designed in such a way that the mutual coupling between the small pulsed magnet and the outer superconducting magnet is practically zero. This configuration prevents the rise of the high induced voltage on the current leads of the superconducting magnet when the pulsed magnet is being energised, hence resulting naturally in protection of the system (superconducting magnet and the current source) against possible damage. Further, it is predicted that the stray field of the pulsed magnet, which gives rise e.g. to the eddy currents in the winding of the superconducting magnet, is considerably decreased. The simple theory enabling the design of the geometry of the compensating pulsed coil is derived. The advantages of this new concept are demonstrated on the results of the theoretical analysis using, as an example, one of the pulsed coils that were designed and fabricated in the Clarendon Laboratory, in connection with the Oxford Instrument superconducting magnet (Clarendon hybrid outer) which can generate a steady magnetic field up to 10 T in a room temperature working space with a diameter of 240 mm.     

A new support structure for high field magnets

Pre-stress of superconducting magnets can be applied directly through the magnet yoke structure. We have replaced the collar functionality in our 14 Tesla R&D Nb/sub 3/Sn dipole magnets with an assembly procedure based on an aluminum shell and bladders. Bladders, placed between the coil pack and surrounding yoke inside the shell, are pressurized up to 10 ksi [70 MPa] to create an interference gap. Keys placed into the interference gap replace the bladder functionality. Following the assembly, the bladders are deflated and removed. Strain gauges mounted directly on the shell are used to monitor the stress of the entire magnet structure, thereby providing a high degree of pre-stress control without the need for high tolerances. During assembly, a force of 8.2 /spl times/ 10/sup 5/ lbs/ft [12 MN/m] is generated by the bladders and the stress in the 1.57" [40 mm] aluminum shell reaches 20.3 ksi [140 MPa]. During cool-down the thermal expansion difference between shell and yoke generates an additional compressive force of 6.85 /spl times/ 10/sup 5/ lbs/ft [10 MN/m], corresponding to a final stress in the shell of 39.2 ksi [270 MPa]. Pre-stress conditions are sufficient for 16 T before the coils separate at the bore. Bladders have now been used in the assembly and disassembly of two 14 T magnets. This paper describes the magnet structure, assembly procedure and test results.     

Study of Kapton insulated superconducting coils manufactured forthe LHC inner triplet model magnets at Fermilab

Fermilab has constructed a number of 2 m model quadrupoles as part of an ongoing program to develop and optimize the design of quadrupoles for the LHC Interaction Region inner triplets. The quadrupole design is based upon a two layer shell type coil of multi-filament NbTi strands in Rutherford cable, insulated with Kapton film. As such, the coil size and mechanical properties are critical in achieving the desired prestress and field quality targets for the agent. Throughout the model magnet program, different design and manufacturing techniques have been studied to obtain coils with the required mechanical properties. This paper summarizes the structural material and coil mechanical properties, coil design optimization results and production experience accumulated in the model R&D program     

Quenching behaviour of quadrupole model magnets for the LHC innertriplets at Fermilab

The US-LHC Accelerator Project is responsible for the design and production of inner triplet high gradient quadrupoles for installation in the LHC Interaction Region. The quadrupoles are required to deliver a nominal field gradient of 215 T/m in a 70 mm bore, and operate in superfluid helium. As part of the magnet development program, a series of 2 m model magnets have been built and tested at Fermilab, with each magnet being tested over several thermal cycles. This paper summarizes the quench performance and analysis of the model magnets tested, including quench training, and the ramp rate and temperature of the magnet quench current     

Design and Manufacturing Main Linac Superconducting Quadrupole for ILC at Fermilab

The design and manufacturing of the first model of an International Linear Collider (ILC) Main Linac superconducting quadrupole is in progress at Fermilab. The quadrupole has a 78 mm aperture, a 36 T integrated gradient, and a cold mass length of 700 mm. A superferric magnet configuration with iron poles and four racetrack coils was chosen based on magnet performance, cost, and reliability considerations. Each coil is wound using enamel insulated, 0.5 mm diameter, NbTi superconductor. The quadrupole package also includes shell type dipole steering coils. The results of the quadrupole design, including magnetic and mechanical analyses, are presented. Specific issues related to the quadrupole magnetic center stability, superconductor magnetization and mechanical stability are discussed and analyzed. The magnet quench protection system, current leads, and mounting the quadrupole inside ILC Main Linac cryomodule will also be briefly discussed.     

Wafer level and flip chip design through solder prediction modelsand validation

In flip chip package applications, bumped dies are flip-chip assembled to substrate metal pads creating joints that serve electrically and mechanically. Resulting solder joint profiles are defined by the solder bump volume, the under bump metallurgy (LTBM) area, and the substrate metal pad size and shape. Solder bump height and diameter was predicted by the geometrical truncated sphere model and surface evolver model at the wafer level, using the known solder volume deposited by stencil printing method. The surface evolver model was used to predict the assembled solder joint height, gap height, collapse height, and maximum bump diameter of flip chip assemblies. In turn, substrate pads were fine-tuned to achieve required gap heights. Collapse heights provided the means to develop assembly tolerances and relative risk of bridging was determined from knowledge of resulting bump diameters. Through validated design of the stencil printing technology and prediction of realistic bump and assembly solder geometries, the results are improved processes and die level design and assembly. Optimized design parameters are incorporated and accurately represented in simulation and experimentally validated with assemblies     

Compact, megavolt, rep-rated Marx generators

A concept for compact, megavolt Marx generators has been developed, resulting in several designs which are approximately half the diameter and half the height of conventional units. The customized Marx capacitor assemblies utilize multiple windings incorporated into a single common capacitor case. Spark gap switch electrodes extend directly from the external capacitor terminals, eliminating the need for additional buswork. In order to construct the Marx generator, two capacitor assemblies are positioned opposite each other so that the electrodes line up in a vertical column between the two assemblies. Because the entire assembly is housed inside a pressurized (207 kPa of SF₆) gas vessel, the need for individual switch housings is eliminated. A four-stage, 400-kV-output Marx generator has been tested, operating at a repetition rate of 2-3 pps (power supply limited) continuously for over 5000 discharge cycles at 85-kV stage charging voltage. A second design has been fabricated and tested, utilizing 16 Marx stages to develop a 1.5-MV (open circuit) output voltage, and is contained in a cylindrical gas vessel 76.2 cm in diameter and 55.9 cm in height, weighing approximately 72.6 kg. Experimental measurements indicate a stage inductance of approximately 45 nH per 100-kV Marx stage

弹性支撑切断式二自由度压电能量采集器研究

针对振动能量采集器对环境中振动能量响应频带较窄的问题,该文提出了一种弹性支承外部磁铁的非线性切断式二自由度压电能量采集器。该弹性支承保证了能量采集器处于双稳态中,实现了能量采集器的宽频带响应。建立了采集器的集中参数理论模型,并研究了不同频率的正弦外界激励下该能量采集器弹性支承外部磁铁与内梁自由端磁铁的间距值变化对采集器电压输出和采集频带的影响。仿真和实验结果表明,随着弹性支承的外部磁铁和内梁自由端磁铁的间距逐渐减小,采集器的均方根电压输出逐渐增大,其采集频带也相应被拓宽。当能量采集器的水平间距值从10 mm调整为5 mm时,该能量采集器一阶谐振频率的均方根电压增长了1.5倍,同时二阶谐振频带拓宽了2.25倍。     

Measurement and analysis of axial end forces in a full-lengthprototype of LHC main dipole magnets

A full-length, twin aperture prototype (MBP2N1) dipole magnet for the LHC project was assembled at CERN with collared coils delivered by industry. The design of this prototype is close to that foreseen for the dipole series manufacture as far the coil geometry and that of the yoke components are concerned. The bolts that transfer the axial magnetic forces from the coil ends to the cold mass end plates were instrumented to verify the axial coil support. These axial forces were initially measured after partial assembly, during a standard and an accelerated cool down introduction to 1.9 K, and during magnet excitation up to 9.2 T. High force levels were observed, triggering a comparison with analytical models and measurements routinely made on 1-m single aperture dipole models. The prototype magnet was re-assembled with lower initial axial force settings and with additional instrumentation, to monitor these forces during the entire assembly process, and re-tested, to possibly correlate axial forces with training behaviour. This paper reports about the experimental observation and provides models towards their understanding     

Superconducting Magnets and Cooling System in BEPCII

A pair of dual-purpose superconducting quadrupole magnets and a superconducting detector solenoid were fabricated and installed in Beijing Electron-Positron Collider Upgrade (BEPCII). The magnets are symmetrically inserted into the BESIII detector with respect to the interaction point. They are identical, iron-free, non-collared, multi-layered and active shielded superconducting magnets for the micro-beta focusing at the interaction region of the collider rings. Each quadrupole magnet is composed of seven coils at different operating currents wound layer by layer on a common cylindrical support. The magnet has an overall effective length of 0.96 m and provides a good field aperture of 65 mm in diameter. They are cooled by supercritical helium in order to eliminate the flow instabilities in constrained cooling channels. The BESIII superconducting solenoid magnet was designed to provide an axial magnetic field of about 1.0 T over the tracking volume and to meet the requirement of particle momentum resolution to particle detectors. A single layer of coil, in-direct cooling by forced two-phase helium, high purity aluminum based stabilizer and NbTi/Cu superconductor is adopted for the solenoid. The solenoid is 3.4 m in diameter and 3.89 m in length. This paper presents the design of the superconducting magnets in the BEPCII as well as their cryomodules. The cooling system for the magnets is also discussed.
