Coil Quench Behavior Quench current is within 1% from the prediction I. Terechkine for the FE meeting
Hysteresis in the magnetic behavior Measured hysteretic behavior was measured as a residual magnetic field at I = 0. The value of the residual field reaches + / - 16 Gs and almost does not depend on the excitation current. Magnetic core can be excused for only 0.5 Gs So, most probably, we see hysteresis in the strand. Some modeling work must be performed to explain the effect. Some anomalies in the current supply behavior (non-zero current at zero setting) must be addressed to allow precision measurements. I. Terechkine for the FE meeting
Conclusion • The three test solenoids will provide information to allow strand choice for the main coil • The test solenoid behaves as predicted; this allow more subtle features to be investigated, e.g, hysteresis and coil fabrication precision • Prototype cold mass for the CH section focusing solenoid will address issues associated with the compensation coils Pre-release review was held on April 06 I.
