The Development of Large High Current Density Superconducting Magnets for Use in High-Energy Physics Experiments.
Abstract
A large superconducting solenoid magnet, characterized by very high current density windings and a two-phase helium tubular cooling system which eliminates most of the problems found in the cryogenic systems of large superconducting magnets was designed to operate at current densities below 10 the 8th power/sq Am. Using a closely coupled, low resistance bore tube to remove most of the current in the superconducting coil without developing high transient voltages. The design and the construction of two test solenoids are described. The successful test of the superconducting coil and its tubular cooling refrigeration system is discussed as well as the safety, environmental and economic impacts of the test program on future developments in high energy physics.
