چکیده

The large hadron collider is CERN’s next particle accelerator project, scheduled for commissioning in 2005. The project requires accurate current measurements above 10 kA. Calibration heads have been developed in collaboration with industry to work up to 24 kA with a relative measurement uncertainty of 10 . This paper describes the design and verification of these heads.

A Loss Measurement System in a Test Facility for High-current Superconducting Cables and Wires

The realisation of a 7 tesla/25 kA test facility for measuring the critical current density and the quench propagation velocity of high-current superconductors has already been reported [11. The test volume in this set-up is torus-shaped having a diameter of 0.2 m and a cross-section of 5 cm2. The test facility has been equipped with a set of AC coils and pick-up coils in order to perform AC lo...

An Intelligent Control Strategy in a Parallel Hybrid Vehicle

This paper presents a design procedure for an adaptive power management control strategy based on a driving cycle recognition algorithm. The design goal of the control strategy is to minimize fuel consumption and engine-out NOx, HC and CO emissions on a set of diversified driving schedules. Seven facility-specific drive cycles are considered to represent different driving scenarios. For each fa...

EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH European Laboratory for Particle Physics Series Production of 13 kA Current Leads with Dry and Compact Warm Terminals

For the LHC magnet test benches 13 pairs of conventional helium vapour-cooled 13 kA current leads are required. The current leads have been designed and built by industry. Attention was given to economical and reliable design and to a design of the warm terminal in order to avoid any condensation. Three pairs of them were tested at CERN. The dry warm terminal enables voltage test at 4.1 kV at c...

Typical Ka band Satellite Beacon Receiver Design for Propagation Experimentation

This paper presents the design and simulation of a typical Ka band satellite beacon receiver for propagation experimentation. Using satellite beacon signal as a reference signal in satellite wave propagation study, is one of the most important methods. Satellite beacons are frequently available for pointing large antennas, but such signals can be used for measuring the effect of natural phenome...
