A Quench is the phase transition of a super-conducting to a normal conducting state

l

Quenches are initiated by an energy release of the

  • rder of mJ:

l

Movement of the superconductor by several m (friction and heat dissipation)

l

Beam losses:

l @7 TeV 0.6 J/cm3 can quench a dipole; this

energy density can be generated by 107 protons

l @450 GeV (injection energy), ~ 109 protons

every ramp down of the magnets implies energy extraction, but this takes ~20 min case of a quench

  • A dedicated Energy

  • There are 32 EES for the

Phase A.8: Snap-back & Ramp

L H C A T L A S C M S L H C b A L I C E

The magnetic field (the current) in a magnet decays when the current is kept constant, like for example during the injection phase in LHC. The decay of the current gets manifested as a:

DECAY of the multiple errors seen by the beam at constant current;

Fast recovery (SNAP-BACK) when the current is varied again. The source of this effect is mainly the Eddy currents flowing in the superconducting cables.
