Funding: BNL work was supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract# DESC0012704 with the U.S. DOE. LBNL work was supported by the U.S. DOE under Contract# DEAC02- 05CH11231. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) arc dipoles at Brookhaven National Laboratory are operated at low field for low energy Au-Au studies. Indications of strong nonlinear magnetic fields have been observed at these low currents due to the persistent current effects of superconducting NbTi filaments. We report the details of the measurement and calculation of the field errors due to persistent current effect. The persistent current induced field errors calculated with a model based on the strand magnetization data agree well with the measurements of a spare arc dipole magnet. The dependence of the persistent current effects on the park current is calculated based on the validated model. |

Lightweight Superconducting Magnet Technology for Medical Applications | |
|
||
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Paul Scherrer Institute, and Varian Particle Therapy, Inc. will develop light-weight superconducting magnet technology that will reduce the size and cost of particle beam delivery systems by nearly a factor of 10. Leveraging technologies and techniques developed for the magnets of the Large Hadron Collider, a prototype gantry bending magnet will be built and tested. | ||
