Measurements of magnet quench levels induced by proton beam spray [electronic resource]

A superconducting dipole magnet was installed in the Fermilab primary beam line. Targets were inserted in the proton beam upstream of the magnet and measurements made of the energy deposition within the magnet sufficient to cause quenching. The quench levels were 25 mW/g for 1 s beam spill and 1 mJ/...

Description
Summary:A superconducting dipole magnet was installed in the Fermilab primary beam line. Targets were inserted in the proton beam upstream of the magnet and measurements made of the energy deposition within the magnet sufficient to cause quenching. The quench levels were 25 mW/g for 1 s beam spill and 1 mJ/g for a spill of 1 ms or less. In comparison, the energy deposition at the extraction septum was 0.6 mJ/g.
