HQ Highlights – Quench Performance
Latest results from CERN test of HQ01e at 1.9K: H. Bajas, 4LA-02 (Thursday AM)
- Achieved 184 T/m at 1.9K (85% of SSL) – well above performance target
However, high rate of coil failures (excessive strain and insulation weakness)
- Flux jump effects appear less severe at 1.9K (5-10 times smaller amplitude)
- Quench protection studies: energy extraction delay, then removal of IL heaters
ASC 2012 Nb3Sn IR Quadrupoles for HL-LHC – G. Sabbi 18
- Large number of insulation failures in coils, coil to parts and coil to heaters
- Catastrophic failure in HQ01b test due to inter-layer short through end shoe
Remediation steps:
- Redesigned end parts to improve fit, eliminate high pressure areas
- Application of insulating coatings to coil parts:
- Improved winding procedures and QA
- Redesigned quench heaters to minimize crossings above metallic parts
- Increased insulation between coil layers and between coil and heaters
- Enhanced electrical QA during coil and magnet fabrication (impulse testing)

In previous phases of the program, conductor has been adequate to meet the key R&D goals of the model magnets:
- RRP 54/61 for SQ, LR, and 1st generation TQ/LQ/HQ/HQM models
- Enabled the 2009 milestone of >200 T/m in TQ and LQ
- RRP 108/127 for TQS03, LQS03, HQ/HQM, and LHQ
Very good results in TQS03, but lower performance in HQ/HQM and LQ Limitations observed in current density, stability (RRR), piece length
- Conductor improvements are required for a successful construction project
- Several developments are underway, but time window is limited
- Increase and control Jc, RRR, piece length in RRP 108/127
- Develop/demonstrate possible alternatives (PIT, higher stack RRP)
- Scale-up to larger billets for faster production an lower cost

Design and Construction Planning
- Full partnership between USLARP and CERN for R&D and production
- The HL-LHC structure provides the needed collaboration framework for
machine and magnet design optimization: Organized around “work packages” - magnet WP is closely interacting with accelerator physics, powering, energy deposition, cryogenics, vacuum WPs Overall coordination by WP1 (management) through collaboration board, steering committee, parameters and layout committee
- In the US, LARP is being reorganized to focus on selection, prototyping and
construction of key deliverables Goal: fully address remaining R&D issues and obtain convincing performance demonstration before start of construction project Closer integration of LARP and General Accelerator Development effort (laboratory base programs) is also expected during the next phase

Summary
- A large knowledge base is available after 7 years of fully integrated
effort involving three US Labs and CERN Steady progress in understanding and addressing R&D issues that were perceived as potential show stoppers: conductor performance, mechanical support, degradation due to stress and cycling, length scale-up, coil/structure alignment, field quality, quench protection
- Remaining challenges include: control of dynamic effects, electrical
integrity, process documentation and QA, incorporation of rad-hard epoxies, development and selection of production-class conductors
- Next few years will be critical and much work is still left to do
Integrating LARP effort with CERN, US core programs, EuCARD
- HL-LHC IR Quads are a key step for future high-field applications
