Quench limits in the next generation of magnets
Several projects around the planet aim at building a new generation of superconducting magnets for particle accelerators, relying on Nb$_{3}$Sn conductor, with peak fields in the range of 10-15 T. In this paper we give an overview of the main challenges for protecting this new generation of magnets....

| description | Several projects around the planet aim at building a new generation of superconducting magnets for particle accelerators, relying on Nb$_{3}$Sn conductor, with peak fields in the range of 10-15 T. In this paper we give an overview of the main challenges for protecting this new generation of magnets. The cases of isolated short magnets, in which the energy can be extracted on an external dump resistor, and chain of long magnets, which have to absorb their stored energy and have to rely on quench heaters, are discussed. We show that this new generation of magnets can pose special challenges, related to both the large current density and to the energy densities. |
