LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 8 HQ01a-e Quench Training NbTi operating target (120 T/m)

LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 9 HQ Performance Issues Time (s) Extraction Voltage (V) Mechanical issues: Ramp rate dependence of first three models is indicative of conductor damage Electrical issues: Large number of insulation failures in coils, in particular inter-layer and coil to parts HQ01b extraction voltage HQ01a-d Ramp Rate dependence

LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 10 Coil Analysis Findings Both mechanical and electrical issues were traced to excessive compaction during the coil reaction phase: HQ design assumed less space for inter-turn insulation than TQ/LQ  Reaction cavity limits radial & azimuthal expansion No/insufficient gaps were included between pole parts to limit longitudinal strain A detailed analysis will be presented by Helene Felice in the magnet parallel session Coil spring back in tooling (Over) size measurements of completed coil

LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 11 Individual Coil Tests in Mirror Structure Mirror structure allows to test single coils: Efficient way to study design variations  Special coils bring special challenges Two special coil were fabricated and tested: #12-HQM01: larger cavity and cored cable #13-HQM02: standard cavity, one less turn Coil 12 showed some performance limitations, probably related to splice fabrication oversight Coil 13: best performing HQ coil to date, at 4.5K and 1.9K, using RRP54/61 Details will be presented by Rodger Bossert and Guram Chlachidze in PM session Ramp rate dependence

LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 12 Design Revisions and Next Steps Presentations by Dan Dietderich, Helene Felice, Marta Bajko in PM session Based on the analysis and tests results, the following changes were applied: A new cable design was developed using smaller strand diameter (from mm to mm, to decrease compaction without changes in parts and tooling Longitudinal gaps were progressively increased and 4mm/m was selected Some end part modifications to increase insulation layers, avoid sharp points Increased inter-layer insulation layer thickness to 0.5 mm Next steps: Test of coil 14 (first coil of the new design) in the mirror structure (Dec-Jan) HQ01e test at CERN: evaluate 1.9K performance and perform independent magnetic measurements (Jan-Feb) Test of coil 15 (new design and cored cable) in HQ or HQM (Mar-Apr) A new effort is being organized to understand persisting electrical weaknesses (shorts in coil 14) and apply findings/corrections to both HQ and LHQ

LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 13 Integration of HQ and LHQ Programs HQ/LHQ schedule integration was a key discussion topic at the last DOE review LHQ HQ Will be presented in detail by Giorgio Ambrosio during the magnet parallel session

LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 15 Accelerator Quality Requirements Detailed specifications will be developed by the HL-LHC design study Preliminary guidance was formulated by CERN in four areas: Ramp rate: no quench at -150 A/s, starting from 80% of SSL Requires control of eddy current losses, particularly in cables Transfer function: < 1 unit reproducibility in the operating range I max /2 Requires control of magnetization and eddy current effects Persistent currents: injection |b 6 |<10 units, spread < 10 units Requires control of conductor magnetization Magnetic center: stable during ramp-up within ± 0.04 mm Requires control of magnetization and eddy current effects

LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 16 Current Accelerator Quality Developments Structure optimization for alignment, uniform pre-load, minimal training Field quality measurements and new design features to meet requirements Structure development oriented toward magnet production and installation Quench protection, rad-hard epoxy and cooling system studies PM session: Conductor and cable presentations by Arup Ghosh and Dan Dietderich Production structure and rad-hard epoxy discussion by Peter Wanderer

LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 17 HQ Structure and Assembly Optimization HQ explores stress limits and test results confirm pre-load window is very narrow HQ01e: asymmetric loading for better stress uniformity Could also be used to optimize geometric field quality

LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 18 HQ01d-e Magnetic Measurements Geometric harmonics are small, indicating good uniformity and alignment Large persistent current effects indicate need for smaller filament conductors Large dynamic effects indicate need to better control inter-strand resistance Geometric and persistent current harmonics Eddy current harmonics for different ramp rates Detailed presentation by Xiaorong Wang in the magnet parallel session

LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 19 In previous phases of the program, conductor has been adequate to meet the key magnet R&D goals: RRP 54/61 for SQ, LR, and 1 st generation TQ/LQ/HQ/HQM models Enabled the 2009 milestone of >200 T/m in TQ and LQ RRP 108/127 for optimized TQ, LQ, HQ/HQM, and LHQ Smaller filament size, but needs further development Accelerator requirements will be a priority in the next phase: HQ02: evaluate cored cables for control of dynamic effects HQM: evaluate coils made with larger RRP stacks and PIT For construction project, key production issues need to be addressed: Improve piece length (cable UL > 1km) and control of J c, RRR Production volume: ~15 tons in a 3-4 year period LARP Conductor Experience and Needs

LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 20 Development of smaller filament wires Work is currently underway to develop wires with smaller D eff RRP 169 and 217 stacks under development at OST PIT (192 tubes) under development by Bruker-AES Both routes can in principle deliver < 40  m at 0.8 mm LARP plans – conductor procurement: About 20 kg. of RRP 217 wire are currently available Additional RRP 217 wire is expected from CDP contracts PIT wire is expected from an exchange with CERN LARP plans – conductor evaluation: Fabricate and characterize HQ cables starting this year If promising results are obtained, fabricate and test HQ coils

LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 21 Conductor J c and RRR vs. Time 12 T 15 T = 2960 = 1550 Residual Resistivity Ratio Jc (12T, 4.2K) RRP 54/61: RRP 108/127: Both J c and RRR for 108/127 are significantly lower than for 54/61, and no improvements are observed for increased production quantity

LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 22 Conductor Piece Length Cable UL for full scale magnets of 120 mm aperture will be ~1 km (considerably higher if aperture is increased to 150 mm) Cabling losses are large when strand piece length is comparable to cable UL After optimization, RRP 54/61 achieved 1-2 pieces per billet (5-10 km range) RRP 108/127 is still delivered in relatively short pieces, with min spec 550 m Sample piece lengths for RRP 108/127 billets procured by LARP Billet #

LARP CM17, 11/16/2011Magnet Systems Overview – G. Sabbi 23 R&D and Construction Planning A CERN-US working group was established in August 2010:  Following a request from last DOE review of LARP (7/2010)  Composition: 3 US (BNL, FNAL, LBNL) and 2 CERN members Goals:  Discuss requirements and development plans for Nb 3 Sn  Present recommendations to LARP, DOE, CERN management Main topics covered:  Magnet tests and success criteria for technology demonstration  Contributions from US and CERN in the next R&D phase  Infrastructure requirements for prototyping and production  Baseline and backup options for final design and production Findings presented at the 2011 CERN-US meeting and DOE review
