Protect, Enhance and Save Lives  For the coming years, the proteus®one and as part of that, the S2C2, will be the number®one workhorse for IBA  Succes of this project is essential for the future of IBA  A broad understanding is needed to continuously improve and develop this new system  The S2C2 is the first superconducting cyclotron made by IBA.  The superconducting coil was for a large part designed by ASG but of course by taking into account the iron design made by IBA/AIMA. This was an interactive process  For us many things have to be learned, regarding the special features of this machine.  Some items under study now, or to be studied soon are: 1. Fast warm up of the coil for maintenance 2. Cold swap of cryocoolers for maintenance  The present study on the dynamics of the magnet must be seen as a learning-process and any feedback of this workshop is very welcome Efforts to learn more on the superconducting magnet Coil and cryostat designed and manufactured by the Italian company ASG

Protect, Enhance and Save Lives The magnet load line with respect to the superconductor critical surface  Magnetic field distribution on the coil  Maximum field on the coil vs main coil current  Compare with critical currents at different temperature 2. The static self-inductance of the magnet  From stored energy  From flux-linking 3. The dynamic self-inductance of the magnet  Essential for non-linear systems like S2C2 The static Opera2D model What information can we obtain

Protect, Enhance and Save Lives What do we get from Opera2D static solver Load line relative to critical surface maximum coil field Magnet load line and critical currents (from ASG) maximum coil field during ramp up

Protect, Enhance and Save Lives The static self-inductance of the magnet

Protect, Enhance and Save Lives Self-inductance from stored energy Calculated with Opera2D static solver

Protect, Enhance and Save Lives Static self from flux-linking Asymmetry may induce a quench? => probably not;  V=0.3 mV is too small Small vertical symmetry in the model Introduces a voltage difference between upper and lower coil during ramp 0.3 mV

Protect, Enhance and Save Lives What do we get from the 2D transient solver? Eddy currents and related losses Current density profiles Losses Apply a constant ramp rate of 2.7 Amps/min to the coils

Protect, Enhance and Save Lives During ramp-up  Eddy current losses in the former (max about 1.5 W) are important because they contribute to the heat-balance  Losses in iron and cryostat walls are (of course) negligible 2. During a quench  When current decay curve is known, losses in former, iron and cryostat walls can be calculated with OPERA2D transient solver  In the former: up to 15 kWatt  In the iron: up to 8 kWatt  The yoke losses help to protect the coil Eddy current losses during ramp up and quench
