Numerical analysis of a folded superconducting coaxial shield for cryogenic current comparators

This paper presents a new shield configuration for cryogenic current comparators (CCCs), namely the folded coaxial geometry. An analytical model describing its shielding performance is first developed, and then validated by means of finite element simulations. Thanks to this model, the fundamental properties of the new shield are highlighted. Additionally, this paper compares the volumetric performance of the folded coaxial shield to the one of a ring shield, the latter being installed in many CCCs for measuring particle beam currents in accelerator facilities.

Common Coil Dipole for High Field Magnet Design and R&D

The common coil geometry provides an alternate design to the conventional cosine theta dipoles. It allows a wider range of conductor and magnet technologies. It also facilitates a low-cost, rapid-turn-around design and R&D program. Recent studies carried out as a part of the US Magnet Development Program revealed that at high fields (20 T with 15% operating margin or more), the common coil design also uses significantly less conductor (particularly much less HTS), as compared to that in the other designs.
