Progress on the normal conducting magnets for the Electron-Ion Collider

The electron-ion collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is designed to deliver a peak luminosity of 1e+34 1/cm2 1/sec. The EIC will take advantage of the existing Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) facility. Two additional rings will be installed: an electron storage ring (ESR) and a rapid cycling electron synchrotron ring (RCS).This paper presents an update on the normal conducting magnet designs required for both the ESR and RCS rings. The ESR will store polarized electron beams up to 18 GeV and utilizes a triplet of dipole magnets to increase the emittance at 5 GeV and generate excess bending to create additional radiation damping to allow a larger beam-beam tune shift. The RCS will accelerate single bunches of spin-polarized electrons at various energies from 5 GeV to 18 GeV, with a ramp rate of 100 ms and 1 Hz repetition rate. Both rings require dipole, quadrupole and sextupole magnets with different specifications.

High temperature superconducting magnet

Systems and methods for superconducting magnets are disclosed, such systems and methods comprising a primary coil and short-circuited secondary coil. The secondary coil can be made from a stack of superconducting tapes having longitudinal cuts forming closed superconductor loops without splices. The primary coil is used to pump the current into the secondary coil where it circulates continuously generating a permanent magnetic field.

HTS Accelerator Magnets Conceptual Design for Future Lepton Colliders

There is an interest in designing superconducting magnet systems for future lepton circular colliders. This application requires many low-field iron-dominated dipole and quadrupole magnets. Conventional room-temperature magnets are often used because of their low field, low total current, and low power losses. However, high electricity bills for large accelerators drive magnet design to superconductivity. High-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets can substantially reduce energy losses in magnet systems. The present study investigated the conceptual design of HTS dipole and quadrupole magnets operating in persistent current mode. Energy is transferred into the magnet from an external detachable power source. A continuously circulating current generates a stable magnetic field. The iron-dominated magnet system concept was investigated using OPERA3D code, and the results confirmed the proposed approach’s validity.

ORBUMP Pulsed Dipole Magnet Design for Fermilab Booster

Fermilab initiated the accelerator magnet system upgrade project PIP-II for future neutrino experiments. Old ORBUMP pulsed dipoles should be replaced with new stronger magnets occupying the same space as old ones. Four of these magnets connected in series form dogleg type of proton beam orbit. The magnet field and 19 kA current pulse length are close to 1 ms. Old magnet cores were based on a ferrite material. For new magnets, a magnet gap field is above 0.4 T, which completely saturates ferrite material. So, for the magnet core, 0.127 mm thick laminations of low carbon steel with inorganic coating, as the magnet were placed in a vacuum box. There were investigated transient magnet parameters including skin effect in the iron core and in the single-turn copper coil. The integrated field homogeneity was improved by the copper coil shimming. Simulated by OPERA3D power losses were used for the thermal analysis by ANSYS code. The magnet performance is strongly coupled with the power source. The dynamic magnet inductance and resistance were included in the pulsed power source design. Finally, the paper presented the ORBUMP magnet system design.
