Presentation Transcript

  1. Dynamic field effects in main LHC dipoles • During ramps, boundary-induced coupling currents (BICCs) are induced in the LHC cable creating a field ripple with period  twist pitch length • BICCs diffuse along the cable during stationary excitation with time constants  1000 s, leading to demagnetization of allowed harmonics of the order of a few units (decay) • As soon as current ramping is resumed, the field snaps back to (almost) the previous hysteresis curve with an exponential law vs. magnet current • Decay and snapback amplitudes depend to some extent upon all cycle parameters, mostly: - increase (~linearly) with pre-cycle flat-top current- increase with pre-cycle flat-top duration- decrease with pre-injection duration

  2. Decay and snapback in model LHC dipoles vs. injection current Parametric study carried out on 1 m long model magnet shows no clear evidence of the dependence of absolute harmonic effects vs Iinj

  3. Decay and snapback in main LHC dipoles vs. injection current Absolute B3 decay: reduction of 15% from 0.45 TeV to 1 TeV injection(influence of longer ramp to injection not taken into account)

  4. Decay and snapback in main LHC dipoles vs. injection current Normalized B3 decay: reduction of a factor 2.6 from 0.45 TeV to 1 TeV injection
