Challenges to design and test fast ramped superconducting dipole magnet P.Fabbricatore INFN-Genova Beam Dynamics meets Magnets-II 1-4 December 2014 Bad Zurzach Challenges to design (construct) and test fast ramped superconducting dipole magnets P.Fabbricatore INFN-Genova, Italy In the years INFN developed and tested a prototype of a superconducting fast cycled dipole magnet for FAIR SIS300 synchrotron. Ac losses and field quality were relevant (fundamental) parameters for the design. In this talk I will briefly summarize the experience on these aspects. We will see that high ac losses are partly due to mechanisms intrinsic to superconducting cable and partly to eddy currents in mechanical structures. Dynamic multipoles are mainly due to to sc cable. Some considerations for SC magnets in hadrontheraphy done at the end. This presentation is based on the work of many colleagues of INFN and GSI working in the frameworks of DISCO_RAP (INFN project) and CRISP WP5 (EU-FP7)

This value is somewhat lower than the value predicted by the computations, 0.46 nΩ m. We suspect that the high filament distortion, may have broken the Cu-Mn sheath surrounding the filaments, putting the Nb-Ti in direct contact with the bulk Cu matrix, and thus lowering the transverse resistivity Low Loss Nb-Ti Superconducting Rutherford Cable Manufacture for the SIS300 INFN Model Dipole By: Volpini, G.; Alessandria, F.; Bellomo, G.; et al.

Challenges to design and test fast ramped superconducting dipole magnet P.Fabbricatore INFN-Genova Beam Dynamics meets Magnets-II 1-4 December 2014 Bad Zurzach CONCLUSIONS When involving superconducting magnets the field rate limitations are mainly determined by ac losses. The corresponding practical field rates (few T/s) should not be an issue for the field quality if looking at the eddy currents in metallic structures and yokes Excluding the permanent currents, affecting field quality also in dc conditions, the intrastrand coupling currents are the major (but not dramatic) source of field quality perturbation.
