Fast ramping superconducting magnets
Abstract
High temperature superconductors (HTS) are excellent technology for creating high field magnets of 10 T or greater, however they are rarely used to create magnets that must also ramp the magnetic field at high rates. This is due to transient loss mechanisms underchanging magnetic fields that are a characteristic of high temperature superconductors. Our hypothesis is that, using a novel configurations of HTS wires, we can develop high-field, fast-cycling, large -bore, and small fringe-field magnets. To achieve this performance shift will require new fundamental understanding of: HTS cycling loss mechanisms, shielding-current-effects on the generated magnetic fields, and the complex interactions between losses, temperature rise, and Lorentz forces.
