Introduction Superconductivityin nuclear physics: • Spectroscopy • Accelerating particles • Ion Source Heating and cooling
Current lead Historical view: • Copper – several W • HTS with silver matrix • HTS with silver-gold alloymatrix – several mW
Magnetic field distribution for two conductors, both with 100A current. Bmax is about 0,04 T. Magnetic field distribution for two conductors (1. in superconducting state, but without current, 2. is with 100A current) The maximum field from one superconducting tape is about 0,02 T. Taking into account the magnetic field value generated by those superconducting tapes, One can see, that Ic.max value is decreasing about 30-40%.

Ion sources • DECRIS • Ion source is one of the most important elements of accelerators, for example nuclotron • One of the most often used ion sources is ECR type ion source
DECRIS • Magnetic field gradient up to 100 T/m • It can work continuos for several years • Using crycooler cooling causes bigger automation andit is decreasing the cost of upkeep
Because of necessityof keeping up magnetic field homogeneity, often superconducting key blockers are used. They are closing the electric circuit after supplymagnets. It freezes a magnetic flux generated by electromagnet. Umożliwiają odłączenie układu zasilania przy zachowaniu strumienia magnetycznego.
Superconducting shields Superconductors can be used to shield magnetic field. Shielding can be explained by pushing up the magnetic field outside the superconductor- Meisner effect.
To increase magnetic field homogeneity opened magnetic shields are used. They are planed to be used at the electron cooling system of ion beam at the NICA project.
With magnetic shields Without magnetic shields
Other devices, which uses superconducting elements: • Resistance current limiter
In closed magnetic shields, area inside is completely shielded. This effect is used for example in superconducting current limiters.
