Abstract:
In the paper, the thermal compensation loops on a composite, superconducting NbTi cable were investigated. This type of cable is used in the superconducting, fast ramping magnets of the SIS100 synchrotron, part of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) under construction in Darmstadt, Germany. The influence of space restrictions and electromagnetic cross-talk on the design of the thermal compensation loop was discussed. Plastic deformation of cable components during bending was analyzed by numerical simulations and experiments. A three-dimensional numerical model of the cable was prepared with individual superconducting wires in contact with a central cooling pipe. The bending of a straight cable into a compensation loop shape was simulated, followed by cyclic operation of the cable during thermal cycles. The maximum strains in the superconducting strands and cooling tube were analyzed and discussed.
