Normal Conducting Magnets Practical Work @ CERN Normal Conducting Magnets Thursday 25th & Friday 26th February 2016, 9:00 – 17:00
Outline Brief introduction to accelerator magnets Program and Organization of Magnet Practical Works Magnet Technology, Production and Testing Magnetic Measurements
Magnetic Field in Particle Accelerators Particle accelerators: control over moving (charged) particles need action against mechanical inertia Equilibrium in the transverse plane: Centrifugal force vs. Lorentz force F = mv2/ρ F = q(E + vΛB) Electrical field quickly shows limits to drive particles with high mass (hadrons) and/or velocity qvB = mv2/ρ Magnetic rigidity: Bρ = mv/q “A charged particle with constant velocity crossing constant field follows a circular trajectory”
Introduction to Magnets A magnetomotive force creates a magnetic flux iron core coil magnetic field NI = R x Magnetomotive force is essentially used in the air gap air gap current Flux = Field x Section = B x A (“Field” is actually “Magnetic flux density”) Courtesy D. Tommasini
Introduction to Magnets Basic principles : constitutive equations Introduction to Magnets R = length /(electrical conductivity x section) R = length/ (magnetic permeability x section) NI = H∙dl (Ampère’s law) R x (Hopkinson’s law) B = 0rH µ0 = 4∙10-7 Tm/A H can be interpreted as “magnetizing pressure” In ferromagnetic materials small H creates high B liron NI lair Courtesy D. Tommasini
Dipoles Purpose: bend or steer the particle beam Equation for normal (non‐skew) ideal (infinite) poles: y= ±r (r = half gap height) Magnetic flux density: By= a1= B0 = const. ‘Allowed’ harmonics: n = 1, 3, 5, 7, ... (= 2n pole errors) Courtesy T. Zickler

Quadrupoles Purpose: focusing the beam (in one plane) Equation for normal (non‐skew) ideal (infinite) poles: 2xy= ±r2(r = aperture radius) Magnetic flux density: By= a2x ‘Allowed’ harmonics: n = 2, 6, 10, 14, ... Courtesy T. Zickler

Sextupoles Purpose: correct chromatic aberrations Equation for normal (non‐skew) ideal (infinite) poles: 3x2y ‐y3= ±r3 (r = aperture radius) Magnetic flux density: By= a3(x2‐y2) ‘Allowed’ harmonics: n = 3, 9, 15, 21, ... Courtesy T. Zickler
