Abstract:
A zero-field cooled superconducting shield was previously proposed to realize a high-field (at least 3 T) septum magnet for the Future Circular Collider proton-proton ring. In this paper, we present the conceptual design of a complete septum magnet prototype including a shield with an optimized shape and a simple and cost-effective superconducting magnet using the canted cosine theta concept. 2D optimization of the coil geometry and a realistic 2D simulation of the fieldmap and field homogeneity are presented taking into account the nonlinear penetration of the magnetic field into the shield.

Energy In A Magnetic Field
Take an ideal inductor with zero resistance. Although it's practically impossible, assume that the coil's resistance is so small that it is practically negligible. The loss of the field's energy to dissipate thermal energy (or heat) is thus...

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
