Analysis of Mechanical Results • Observed behavior attributed to coil-pad surface mismatch • Can be compensated by removing G10 shim at interface • Eventually, coil oversize needs to be corrected by tooling/process FEA analysis Pressure-sensitive film test
TQS03c High Stress Test Coil layer 1 stress evolution - sq Calculated peak stresses in TQS03c 260 MPa @ 4.5K • Systematic investigation in TQS03: • TQS03a: 120 MPa at pole, 93% SSL • TQS03b: 160 MPa at pole, 91% SSL • TQS03c: 200 MPa at pole, 88% SSL • Peak stresses are considerably higher • Considerably widens design window 255 MPa @ SSL
TQS03e Cycling Test • Reduced coil stress to TQS03b levels (160 MPa average) • Pre-loading operation and test performed at CERN • Did not recover TQS03b quench current (permanent degradation) • Performed 1000 cycles with control quenches every ~150 cycles • No change in mechanical parameters or quench levels

HQ01a Test Status and Next Steps • Cool-down completed (4/19-22): • Next steps: • 4/26-30: Heater tests, magnetic measurements • 5/3-7: Quench training
HQ Next Steps • One-meter model optimization: • Pre-load, alignment, quench protection and thermal studies • Cored cables to control dynamic effects • Structure optimization for production and accelerator integration • Two-meter extension: field quality & comparison with NbTi models Radial bladders/keys Cooling channels Support/alignment fiducials Laminated collar Pressure vessel/end terminations
Materials R&D • Three strand designs used in LARP: • MJR 54/61: TQS01, TQC01, SQ • RRP 54/61: LR, TQ02, LQS01(2), HQ01 • RRP 108/127: TQS03, HQ01a, (LQS03) • RRP 54/61: • Production wire, highest Jc, long piece length, best characterized • Large sub-elements, flux jumps esp. in larger diameter wires • RRP 108/127: • Deff reduced by 30%, very good results in TQS03 10-20% lower Jc, not fully optimized for production • New options from the HEP Conductor Development Program: • Ti-doped RRP: HQ cable/coil will be fabricated in 2010 • RRP 217: promising but still requiring R&D
Cable R&D • Stable and consistent cable production: TQ (30 UL, 65 m each); LQ (15 UL. 200 m each); LR (3 UL, 200 m each); HQ (10 UL, 100 m each) • Production so far has followed a 2-step process: • First pass cable followed by anneal and re-roll • Next R&D steps: • Ti-doped RRP wire (to qualify for purchase by LARP) • One-pass cable w/pre-annealed wire (lower cost, SS core) • Addition of a SS or glass core (control of dynamic effects) • R&D cables will be tested in HQ 1-meter coils • Best results to be incorporated in HQ 2-meter models
Length considerations for the IR upgrade • HQ short sample gradient is 200 T/m @ 4.5K & 220 T/m @ 1.9K • Assume operation at 170 T/m and same basic layout as baseline LHC • magnet length is ~7.4 m (Q1 & Q3), 6.4 m (Q2a & Q2b) • Half length elements: ~4.1 m (Q1/Q3), ~3.5 m (Q2a/b) w/10% factor • Technical comparison: • Full length elements are clearly preferred for optimal IR performance • Full length elements should be less costly for production • However, they require new infrastructure • Full length elements need to be demonstrated experimentally • This can impact the schedule and decision process • Half-length elements could be considered as a fall-back solution • Loss of efficiency is 5-15% depending on implementation
Medium term Nb3Sn development (2012-14) Goal: demonstrate full-length magnet performance to minimize the technical and schedule risk to the project • The existing (FNAL) infrastructure allows fabrication of coils up to 6 m length. • As a first step, we could aim at testing of individual 6 m long coils in a suitable support structure by 2014 • The 6 m long coils could be based on LR, LQ or HQ design • The 120 mm (HQ) design is strongly preferred since it could directly lead to assembly of a 6 m long IR Quad prototype • However, is more expensive to fabricate and test then the other two alternatives • Results of 2 m model Quadrupoles and 6 m coil scale-up will provide required information for detailed IR design and project planning/initiation
Production schedule • Define production line: complete set of winding, curing, reaction, • potting infrastructure, tooling, crew • Assuming that a production line delivers one coil every four weeks: • 64 coils ~7 m long: ~5 years with 1 production line • ~2.5 years with 2 production lines • One year from coil production to magnet production completion • Questions: • Set-up time (infrastructure and tooling) • LARP can contribute to an efficient start • Ramp up time, how long and what productivity • Process optimization for production • Conductor procurement schedule
From R&D to Construction The LARP R&D program components will inform the decision process and develop the IR Quad design, tooling and fabrication process: • LQ, HQ-1m & HQ-2m provide a basis for the 2013 technology choice • 6-m mirror program provides a basis for tooling design & coil fabrication • 6-m Quadrupole program provides a basis for IR Quad structure/assembly
Summary • Significant technical progress during the last 6 months: LQ 200 T/m milestone and further optimization, robust performance in TQ, and completion of the first HQ • The near term magnet R&D plan (2010-2012) is well aligned with a technology decision in 2013 • Systematic testing of LARP Nb3Sn models and CERN NbTi models with same specs will provide direct technology comparison and qualification • The medium term magnet R&D plan (2012-2014) is being formulated with the goal of minimizing the technical and schedule risk for construction • Extension of the HQ design to 6 m length appears to be the most effective strategy
