Thermal Safety of the Current Buses inthe Chimney of the D0 Solenoid

Description: The thermal and electrical behaviour of the current buses in the chimney of the D0 solenoid during upset conditions is modeled to guide the selection of trip levels for magnet protection circuits which discharge the magnet if abnormal conditions are detected. The current buses in the chimney are designed to operate safely without likelihood of loss of superconductivity as long as normal cooling conditions are maintained. Helium liquid level probes, helium flow instrumentation, and thermometry a… more

Thermal Safety of the D0 Solenoid After Power Supply Failure

Description: The D0 solenoid was shown to be completely safe when deliberately quenched without a protection resistor in factory trials at Toshiba. In the tests the power supply was turned off shortly after the onset of the quenches. In this note an examination is made of the consequences to be expected if the power supply fails to turn off after the onset of a quench. The quite extreme assumption of simultaneous failure of the magnet power supply to switch off and the dump switch to open in the event of a … more
