WE6RFP004 | Dependence of Superconducting Wire Motion on the Base Insulating Material in Magnetic Field | 2787 |

Main cause of premature quench in superconducting magnet is the heat generated due to sudden superconducting wire motion. The wire motion occurs where electromagnetic force to conductors exceeds frictional force on surfaces of the conductors. Hence, frictional properties of the conductors and winding structures are important parameters for characterizing stability of the superconducting windings. Experiments were carried out to detect the superconducting wire motion under the influence of varying electromagnetic force. The wire movement is detected by observing the spike in voltage of the superconducting sample wire. From the time profile of voltage spike, distance moved by superconducting wire is estimated. Insulating material such as Dyneema random sheet, Dyneema non-woven sheet and Dyneema fiber cloth were used at the interface of superconducting wire and base material. Dyneema has low frictional coefficient and negative thermal expansion. The experimental findings will be discussed. |

TU5RFP081 | Status of the Energy Recovery Linac Project in Japan | 1278 |
|

Future synchrotron light source project using an energy recovery linac (ERL) is under proposal at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in collaboration with several Japanese institutes such as the JAEA and the ISSP. We are on the way to develop such key technologies as the super-brilliant DC photo-injector and superconducting cavities that are suitable for both CW and high-current operations. We are also promoting the construction of the Compact ERL for demonstrating such key technologies. We report the latest status of our project, including update results from our photo-injector and from both superconducting cavities for the injector and the main linac, as well as the progress in the design and preparations for constructing the Compact ERL. |
