Modeling heat transfer from quench protection heaters to superconducting cables in Nb3Sn magnets

arXiv:1401.3939 · doi:10.5170/CERN-2013-006.30

Abstract

We use a recently developed quench protection heater modeling tool for an analysis of heater delays in superconducting high-field Nb3Sn accelerator magnets. The results suggest that the calculated delays are consistent with experimental data, and show how the heater delay depends on the main heater design parameters.
