Superconductivity: Its Role, Its Success and Its Setbacks in the Large Hadron Collider of CERN
/ Rossi, L (CERN)
The Large Hadron Collider - LHC, the particle accelerator at CERN, Geneva, is the largest and probably the most complex scientific instrument ever built. Superconductivity plays a key role because the accelerator is based on the reliable operation of almost 10,000 superconducting magnets cooled by 130 tonnes of helium at 1.9 and 4.2 K and containing a total stored magnetic energy of about 15,000 MJ (including detector magnets).

Unbunched beam is a potentially serious issue in the LHC as it may quench the superconducting magnets during a beam abort. Unbunched particles, either not captured by the RF system at injection or leaking out of the RF bucket, will be removed by using the existing damper kickers to excite resonantly the particles in the abort gap.

The monochromaticity and intensity of synchrotron light emitted by undulators strongly depend on the undulator field quality. For the particular case of superconductive undulators it was shown recently that their field quality can be significantly improved by an array of coupled high temperature superconductor loops attached to the surface of the superconductive undulator.

/ Buzio, M (CERN) ; Beaumont, A (Fachhochsch., Wiener Neustadt) ; Galbraith, P (CERN) ; Golluccio, G (CERN) ; Giloteaux, D (CERN) ; Gilardoni, S (CERN) ; Petrone, C (CERN) ; Walckiers, L (CERN)
The control of five of the accelerators in the CERN injector chain (PS, PS Booster, SPS, LEIR and AD) is based upon real-time measurements in a reference magnet. These so-called “B-train” systems include a field marker to signal the achievement of a given field value, complemented by one or more pick-up coils to integrate flux changes. [...]

For the inspection of certain critical elements of the LHC machine a mobile computed tomography system has been developed and built. This instrument has to satisfy stringent space, volume and weight requirements in order to be transportable and usable to any interconnection location in the LHC tunnel. [...]

Towards a Consolidation of LHC Superconducting Splices for 7 TeV Operation

Following the analysis of the September 2008 LHC incident, the assembly process and the quality assurance of the main 13 kA interconnection splices were improved, with new measurement and diagnostics methods introduced. During the 2008-2009 shutdown ~5% of these 10 000 splices were newly assembled with these improvements implemented, but essentially maintaining the original design. [...]

One of the main requirements for the magnet operation of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is the correction of the dynamic multipole errors produced. In particular, integrated sextupole errors in the main dipoles must be kept well below 0.1 units to ensure acceptable chromaticity. [...]

The relation between field and current in each family of the Large Hadron Collider magnets is modelled with a set of empirical equations (FiDeL) whose free parameters are fit on magnetic measurements. They take into account residual magnetization, persistent currents, hysteresis, saturation, decay and snapback during initial part of the ramp. [...]

CLIC Pre-damping and Damping Ring Kickers: Initial Ideas to Achieve Stability Requirements
/ Barnes, M J (CERN) ; Ducimetière, L (CERN) ; Uythoven, J (CERN)
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) study is exploring the scheme for an electron-positron collider with high luminosity (1034-1035 cm-2s-1) and a nominal centre-of mass energy of 3 TeV: CLIC would complement LHC physics in the multi-TeV range. The CLIC design relies on the presence of Pre-Damping Rings (PDR) and Damping Rings (DR) to achieve the very low emittance, through synchrotron radiation, needed for the luminosity requirements of CLIC.

The goal of the present CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) is to demonstrate the technical feasibility of specific key issues of the CLIC scheme. The extracted drive beam from the combiner ring (CR), a pulse of 35 A magnitude and 140 ns duration, is sent to the new CLic EXperimental area (CLEX). [...]

A discrete 2-D Formulation for 3-D Field Problems with Continuous Symmetry
/ Auchmann, B (CERN) ; Flemisch, B (Stuttgart U.) ; Kurz, S (ETAS, Stuttgart)
We describe a general formalism that allows to reduce the spatial dimension of a field problem from 3-D to (2+1)-D. Subsequently we identify conditions under which the third dimension can be eliminated.We see that the resulting 2-D field problems only decouple if an orthogonality criterion is fulfilled.The approach is based solely on differential-form calculus and can therefore be easily transferred into a discrete setting.

In the framework of the US LHC Accelerator Program (LARP), three US laboratories BNL, FNAL and LBNL are developing Nb$_{3}$Sn quadrupole magnets for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) luminosity upgrade. At present CERN is supporting this activity by testing some of the LARP 1 m long 90 mm aperture magnets. [...]

High-Current Bus Splice Resistances and Implications for the Operating Energy of the LHC

At each interconnection between LHC main magnets a low-resistance solder joint must be made between superconducting cables in order to provide a continuous current path through the superconductor and also to the surrounding copper stabilizer in case the cable quenches [1]. About 10,000 such joints exist in the LHC. [...]

High Precision Current Control for the LHC Main Power Converters
/ Thiesen, H (CERN) ; Cerqueira Bastos, M (CERN) ; Hudson, G (CERN) ; King, Q (CERN) ; Montabonnet, V (CERN) ; Nisbet, D (CERN) ; Page, S (CERN)
Since restarting at the end of 2009, the LHC has reached a new energy record in March 2010 with the two 3.5 TeV beams. To achieve the performance required for the good functioning of the accelerator, the currents in the main circuits (Main Bends and Main Quadrupoles) must be controlled with a higher precision than ever previously requested for a particle accelerator at CERN: a few parts per million (ppm) of nominal current.
