•BSCCO 2212•YBCCO

•MgB2 is technically a low temperature superconductor (LTS) withcritical temperature ~39 K.

Of these only BSCCO2212 and BSCCO2223 are now available insufficient quantities to make accelerator magnets.

Advantages of using HTSin Accelerator Magnets

• HTS based magnets can work at elevated temperatures

• a rise in temperature from, e.g., decay particles can be tolerated

• the operating temperature does not have to be controlled precisely

• HTS has a potential to produce very high field magnets

As compared to LTS, the critical current density (Jc ) falls slowly• as a function of temperature• as a function of field

Translate this to magnet design and accelerator operation:

SuperconductingMagnet Division

Ramesh Gupta, BNL, High Temperature Superconductors in Future Accelerator Magnets, NSCL, 5/28/03 Slide No. 7

Operation of HTS BasedAccelerator Magnets

• HTS based magnets don’t appear to quench in a normal way.

• One (or even a few) weak spot (s) won’t limit the ultimateperformance of the magnet. That would only cause the localtemperature to rise a bit but the magnet will continue to operate.

• This becomes more a question of the heat load rather thanthe weak spot limiting the performance of the whole magnet.

• This is a major difference from the LTS based magnets wherea single weak spot limits the performance of the entire magnet.

Ramesh Gupta, BNL, High Temperature Superconductors in Future Accelerator Magnets, NSCL, 5/28/03 Slide No. 8

Challenges with HTS(and the way they are being addressed)

• HTS materials are very brittleWork on magnet designs => make “conductor friendly designs”.

• HTS materials are still very expensiveCost/Amp is coming down continuously, primarily because of theimprovements in performance. Also for some applications, theperformance and not the material cost should be the main consideration.One must consider the overall system and operational cost.

• Large quantities are not availableSituation has significantly improved. We purchased 1.5 km long wire.The tapes are available in similar length. Now we can make coils andmagnets having reasonable length.The technical question is controlling the temperature of reaction furnaceto ~1/2 degree at 880o-890oC over the entire reaction volume.

Ramesh Gupta, BNL, High Temperature Superconductors in Future Accelerator Magnets, NSCL, 5/28/03 Slide No. 9

Possible Applications of HTSin Accelerator Magnets

Medium Field, Higher Temperature ApplicationExample: Quads for Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) --- *To be discussed first*• These applications don’t require very high fields.• The system design benefits enormously because the HTS offers the possibility ofmagnets to operate at higher than 4K, say at 20-40 K.• The HTS can tolerate a large increase in temperature in superconducting coils(caused by the decay particles) with only a small loss in performance.• Moreover, the temperature need not be controlled precisely (Think about an order ofmagnitude relaxation in temperature variations, as compared to the LTS used incurrent accelerator magnets).

High Field, Low Temperature ApplicationExample: Interaction Region (IR) Magnets for large luminosity upgrade or very highfield main ring dipoles to achieve highest possible energy in existing given tunnel.• At very high fields (>15 T), no superconductor carries as much critical currentdensity as HTS.

High Temperature Superconductor (HTS)Quads in Fragment Separator Region of RIA

RIA fromNSCL Web Site

BNL/NSCL Collaboration:We propose HTS quadrupoles forthe first three magnet elements inthe RIA Fragment Separator.

SuperconductingMagnet Division

Ramesh Gupta, BNL, High Temperature Superconductors in Future Accelerator Magnets, NSCL, 5/28/03 Slide No. 11

Basic Requirements of Quadrupolesfor Fragment Separator in RIA

They are the first magnetic elements in the fragment separator for RIA• Required Gradient: 32 T/m in the first quadrupole of the triplet.• This gradient points to superconducting magnet technology.

� Quads are exposed to high radiation level of fast neutrons (E > 1 MeV)� Beam looses 10-20% of its energy in production target, producingseveral kW of neutrons.� A large fraction of above hit the superconducting quadrupole triplet.

• This raises several short tem and long term time scale issues.

Basically, we need “radiation resistant” superconducting quads, working in a“hostile environment”, where no known magnet has ever lived so long before!

Room temperature, water cooled copper magnets produce lower gradientand/or lower aperture quads. That will lower acceptance and make inefficientuse of beam intensity. Also moving quad back and adding more shielding,requires higher gradient and larger aperture quadrupoles.

SuperconductingMagnet Division

Ramesh Gupta, BNL, High Temperature Superconductors in Future Accelerator Magnets, NSCL, 5/28/03 Slide No. 12

Short Time Scale Issues

Superconducting magnets will quench if large amount of energy is dumpedon superconducting coils (over several mJ/g).

In addition, there is a large constant heat load on the cryogenic system :~ 1 W/kg to the cold mass.

• The temperature increase must be controlled within the acceptabletolerances of the superconductor used.

• The large amount of heat deposited must be removed economically.

• HTS appear to have a potential of offering a good technical and a goodeconomical solution with the critical current densities that are availabletoday (of course, we can always do better with higher Jc).• However, we need to develop magnet technology and prove that theabove potential can be utilized in a real magnet system.

SuperconductingMagnet Division

Ramesh Gupta, BNL, High Temperature Superconductors in Future Accelerator Magnets, NSCL, 5/28/03 Slide No. 13

Long Time Scale Issues

• One must look at the impact on the material properties ofsuch a radiation dose over the life time (estimated 1019

neutrons/cm2 in the region of 0 to 30 degrees in ~12 years ).

• Iron and copper are expected to be able to withstand about~100 times the above dose.

Note: The normal water cooled electromagnet can notgenerate the required field gradient.

The development of the radiation resistant superconductingmagnet designs & technologies is highly desirable for RIA.

BNL/NSCL Collaboration

RIA R&D Proposal:Development of Radiation Resistant Quadrupoles based on HighTemperature Superconductors for the Fragment Separator.

• BNL has a unique experience with HTS technology and expertise indesigning and building a variety of superconducting magnets. The primaryresponsibility of BNL is to develop designs and technologies that can satisfyboth short term & long term requirements.• NSCL has the knowledge of radiation related issues & requirements of RIAand has the expertise on the impact of radiation on various materials. Theprimary responsibility of NSCL is to carry out necessary model calculationsand plan experiments to assure that the magnet can withstand the requireddose over the specified period of time.• In a collaboration, we both benefit with each others experience in magnetdesigns & material properties. Initial results of this collaboration follows.

Insulation in HTS Coils Built at BNL

Two double pancake NMR coils,one with kapton insulation and theother with stainless steel. HTS Test Coil for an Accelerator Magnet

BNL has successfully tested several HTS R&D magnets and test coils made with BSCCO2212 and BSCCO 2223 tape. A unique and very pertinent feature of these coils is thesuccessful use of stainless steel as the insulation material between turns. This technique wasdeveloped to provide a strong mechanical coil package capable of withstanding the largeLorentz forces in a 25T environment, but will also provide a highly radiation resistant coil.

S.S. insulationworks well with

superconductors

SuperconductingMagnet Division

Ramesh Gupta, BNL, High Temperature Superconductors in Future Accelerator Magnets, NSCL, 5/28/03 Slide No. 21

Summary and Status of the Alternate Designof the 1st QUAD in RIA Fragment Separator

• HTS Quads can operate at much a higher temperature (20-40 K insteadof 4K).

•The iron yoke is warm (or at least at ~80 K, which can be cooled by liquidnitrogen). This brings a major reduction in amount of heat to be removed atlower temperature.

• The coils are moved significantly outward to reduce radiation dose by alarge amount.

• HTS can tolerate an order of magnitude higher temperature variationsduring operation.

• The possibility of stainless steel insulation is highly attractive.

• It is shown that the field quality requirements can be met.

Apart from providing a good technical solution, this designshould bring a large reduction in the operating costs.

NOTE: High TemperatureSuperconductors (HTS) areuniquely suitable for generatingvery high fields since, unlike inconventional Low TemperatureSuperconductors (LTS), thereduction in critical currentdensity as a function of field ismuch smaller at very high fields.

Design Issues for High FieldAccelerator Magnets using HTS

• HTS is very brittle

Conventional designs arenot the most suitable

• Large Lorentz forces

•The required temperatureuniformity during the heattreatment is high:

(~1/2 degree at ~890o C)

⇒ React & Wind Approach

Conventional cosine θ design (e.g., RHIC magnets) Complex 3-d geometry in the ends

“Conductor friendly” racetrack coil with large bend radius Suitable for high field magnets with brittle material

SuperconductingMagnet Division

Ramesh Gupta, BNL, High Temperature Superconductors in Future Accelerator Magnets, NSCL, 5/28/03 Slide No. 24

Common Coil Design• Simple 2-d geometry with large bend

radius (determined by spacing betweentwo apertures, rather than aperture itself).

• Conductor friendly (no complex 3-dends, suitable for brittle materials -most for H.F. are - Nb3Sn and HTS).

• Compact (quadrupole type cross-section, field falls more rapidly).

• Block design (for handling largeLorentz forces at high fields).

• Combined function magnets possible.• Efficient and methodical R&D due to

simple & modular design.• Minimum requirements on big

expensive tooling and labor.• Lower cost magnets expected.

Common Coil Magnet As A Test Facility

• A Modular Design with a significant flexibility.• Coil geometry is vertical and flat. That means a

new coil module having even a different cablewidth can be accommodated by changing onlyfew parts in the internal support structure.

• The central field can be increased by reducing theseparation between the coils.

• The geometry is suitable for testing strands,cables, mini-coils and insert coils.

• Since the insert coil module has a relatively smallprice tag, this approach allows both “systematic”and “high risk” R&D in a time and cost-effectiveway. This might change the way we do magnetR&D.

• Can use the successful results in the next magnet.

Interaction Region (IR) Magnets

Interaction region magnets for the next generation colliderscan benefit a lot from:

the ability to produce very high fields the ability to deal with large energy deposition the ability to operate at elevated temperatures that need not be uniform

→ For these IR magnets, the performance,not the material cost is the issue.

SUMMARY

• HTS can make a significant impact in certain applications– HTS magnets can operate at elevated temperature which need

not be controlled precisely.– HTS magnets can generate very high fields.

• HTS have reached a level that one can do meaning magnetR&D to address various technical issues– The recent test results from Brookhaven are encouraging.– HTS offer a potential of good technical and economic operational

solution for RIA fragment separator quadrupole triplet.• The next step

– Examine the impact of large dose of radiation on superconductorand insulation material.

– Prove HTS magnet design & technology by building a test magnet.
