Niobium-tin Magnet Technology Development at Fermilab

چکیده
As a part of the Fermilab high field Nb3Sn dipole development program, various issues of magnet technology are being investigated. In cable insulation development, S-2 fiber glass sleeve and a new ceramic insulation developed by Composite Technology Development Inc. (CTD) were studied as a possible candidates. For each type of insulation, Nb3Sn ten-stack samples were reacted and then vacuum impregnated with epoxy. Measurements of modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ratio under compression were made at room temperature and at 4.2 K. For comparison, an epoxy impregnated NbTi composite was also tested.

Rf Tests of an 805 Mhz Pillbox Cavity at Lab G of Fermilab*
We report recent high power RF tests on an 805 MHz RF pillbox cavity with demountable windows for beam apertures at Lab G of Fermilab, a dedicated facility for testing of MUCOOL (muon cooling) components. The cavity is installed inside a superconducting solenoidal magnet. A 12 MW peak RF power klystron is used for the tests. The cavity has been processed both with and without magnetic field. Wi...
متن کاملNb Sn Accelerator Magnet Technology R & D at Fermilab
INTRODUCTION Nb3Sn accelerator magnets allow magnet operation above 10 T and drastically increase the coil temperature margin relative to NbTi magnets. Magnets with such parameters are needed for the LHC IR upgrade, cr mponents of ILC, MSR and MC magnet systems. Fermilab is developing Nb3Sn accelerator magnets using shell-type dipole coils and the wind-and-react method. The R&D program includes...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Optimized Quadrupole Resonator at HZB
Current superconducting cavities are generally made of solid Niobium. A possibility to reduce cost as well as increase the quality factor and/or accelerating fields is to use thin film coated cavities. Apart from Niobium thin films, other substances such as Magnesium diboride, Niobium nitride and Niobium-tin are promising candidates. Measuring the RF-properties of superconducting thin films, sp...
متن کاملLow-loss niobium-tin compound for superconducting alternating-current power transmission applications.
A Nb(3)Sn superconductor has been fabricated in rods and tapes by the interaction of the tin contained in a copper-tin alloy with niobium which had been in contact with the alloy material. This conductor has lower alternating-current (60 hertz) losses than any presently available commercial products.
متن کاملTbNb6Sn6: the first ternary compound from the rare earth–niobium–tin system
The title compound, terbium hexa-niobium hexastannide, TbNb(6)Sn(6), is the first ternary compound from the rare earth-niobium-tin system. It has the HfFe(6)Ge(6) structure type, which can be analysed as an inter-growth of the Zr(4)Al(3) and CaCu(5) structures. All the atoms lie on special positions; their coordination geometries and site symmetries are: Tb (dodeca-hedron) 6/mmm; Nb (distorted ...
