Conventional Accelerator Magnets

This course introduces conventional magnets used in particle accelerators, focusing on both normal-conducting copper coil magnets and permanent magnets (PMs). It covers magnet classification, design principles, material selection, and mechanical constraints. Advantages and limitations of PMs compared to copper coil magnets are discussed. Key construction steps and cooling methods are presented. The course also includes magnetic field measurement techniques and quality control. Practical examples from PSI and CERN illustrate the concepts.

Superconducting Accelerator Magnets

This course introduces key aspects of superconducting magnet technology in accelerators: basic principles, superconducting materials (NbTi, Nb$_3$Sn, ReBCO), wire and cable architectures, and fabrication methods. Compared to copper or permanent magnets, superconducting systems require cryogenics and complex protection schemes but enable superior performance. Core challenges - like flux pinning, magnetization effects, quench behavior, mechanical forces interception, power tests and magnetic measurements - are addressed through examples of magnets from PSI and CERN.
