Detection and protection novel concepts, models and experiments.
In the framework of the commissioning of JT-60SA Tokamak (Japan, beginning of 2021), all the coils (TFC, CS and EF) have to be energized with a set of reduced and then nominal current after they became superconducting at 4.5 K cooling temperature with supercritical helium flow in Cable-In-Conduit Conductors (CICC). An important Issue is to predict the Joule Energy for all the magnet systems,...
In a dark matter Axion research context, the MADMAX project acts as a figurehead in the physics research field. The purpose of the project is to use a dipole, composed of 18 coils, with a Figure of Merit of 100 T²m². The MADMAX’s coils have several specific features though, as the use of Cable-In-Conduit-Conductor (CICC) in a copper stabilizer or the use of stagnant superfluid helium inside...
Conventional cables for fusion magnets make use of low temperature superconductors (LTS) to achieve high current densities, which are necessary to generate the magnetic field for fusion plasma confinement. Compared to LTS, high temperature superconductors (HTS) offer the possibility to increase the magnetic field strength for plasma confinement, as well as the operation at higher temperatures....
Methodological aspects of modeling of the quench process in insulated and non-insulated ("metal-insulated") multi-double-pancake HTS REBCO-tape-wound coils are considered consistently and systematically, taking into account all important effects and inputs affecting the quench behavior and characteristics. Examples of comprehensive quench simulation in real magnetic systems are demonstrated...
