National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Scaling laws for modeling large superconducting solenoids.

DE2001782492

Publication Date	2000
Personal Author	Green, M. A.; McInturff, A. D.
Page Count	4
Abstract	The neutrino factory cooling system will consist of a long series of superconducting solenoids with a warm bore of 1.2 meters. In order to minimize the cost of the 200 to 300-meter long solenoid muon-cooling channel, the solenoids must be fabricated so that their mass is minimized. This report discusses how one can model the stress, strain and quench behavior of these large solenoid sections by building one-third to one-half scale models of the magnets. The cost of building and engineering the scale model magnets is a small fraction of the cost of fabricating a full-scale magnet section. This report discusses the limitations of the scaling approach as well as the types of superconducting solenoids for which the modeling technique is suitable.
