MICE Absorber cryostat Forces and power dissipation - for normal operation and during a magnet quench Elwyn Baynham James Rochford MICE Meeting November 2003
Outline Magnet Forces and Quench Issues »Scope –To review the interactions between the magnet system and the H2 absorber units –Magnet system brief overview – focus coils and absorber geometry – separation of modules – not all latest geometry –Magnetic Forces l Static - schematic of forces on coils – internal/external – force management – interaction with absorber l Quench – worst case unbalanced forces – management – interaction with absorber –Quench – present eddy currents,forces,power generated in absorber bodies and windows – for both flip and solenoid mode –Review Impact on absorber design and safety

Conclusions –Magnetic Forces l Static – internal/external force management is well understood – no significant interaction with absorber l Quench – coil body forces understood and controlled within magnet cryostat –Quench –eddy current l forces on windows very small cf vacuum/liquid loads l power generated in absorber bodies and windows will not cause significant pressure rise/liquid boil off –Impact on absorber design and safety –– no special design requirements for magnet interactions
