Field-shape Variation Induced by Thermal Cycling and Excitation in the Lhc Dipole
نویسندگان
چکیده
The field-shape imperfections measured at room temperature before and after thermal cycling and excitation up to maximum field in three 10 m-long models of the LHC dipole are presented. A systematic variation is observed in the normal sextupole and decapole components. The variation of the other components turns out to be negligible or to randomly vary (as for normal and skew quadrupoles). We show how the systematic variation can be justified by assuming outward radial shift in four blocks of the inner coil. Qualitative tests using Fuji paper confirm this conjecture.

Field-shape Imperfections of the Cern-lhc Dipole Arising from Mechanical Deformations and Component Tolerances
The stability of the geometry of the superconducting coils is essential to the field homogeneity of the LHC dipole magnets. Mechanical stresses during coil assembly, thermal stresses during cool-down and electromagnetic stresses during operation are the sources of deformations of the coil geometry. Additional sources of field-shape errors are the dimensional tolerances of the magnet components ...
متن کاملEffect of Induced Dipole-Induced Dipole Potential and the Size of Colliding Particles on Ion-Quadrupolar Molecule Collision Rate Constants
Classical trajectory (Monte Carlo) calculation is used to calculate collision rate constants of ion-quadrupolar molecule interactions for the H¯+C2H2 system. The method presented here takes into account the effect of the induced dipole-induced dipole potential on ion-quadrupolar molecule collision rate constants. It is also assumed that the colliding particles have a d...
متن کاملField Quality in the Twin Aperture D2 Dipoles for Lhc under Asymmetric Excitation*,
Twin aperture D2 magnets are one of the several types of dipoles to be built by BNL for the interaction regions of LHC. To minimize the number of dipole correctors required in the interaction regions, D2 will also be used as part of the steering system. Consequently, the operating fields in the two apertures may differ by up to ~10% at 7 TeV operation and ~33% at injection in order to compensat...
متن کاملOpen-Hole Size and Thermal Cycling Effects on Mass Loss and Surface Degradation of Polymer Matrix Composites
Degradation is a common problem for polymer matrix composites (PMCs) under low thermal cycling conditions. This paper investigates the effects of low thermal cycling on total mass loss (TML) and surface degradation of PMCs. Unnotched and open-hole specimens were weighed before and after low thermal cycling. The total mass loss and surface degradation of the specimens were studied over 250 cycle...
متن کاملThermal effect and role of entanglement and coherence on excitation transfer in a spin chain
We analyze the role of bath temperature, coherence and entanglement on excitation transfer in a spin chain induced by the environment. In Markovian regime, we show that coherence and entanglement are very sensitive to bath temperature and vanish in time in contrary to the case of having zero-temperature bath. That is while, finding the last qubit of the chain in excited state increases by incre...
