摘要:
The present invention relates to completely sealed high-Tc superconducting ceramic oxide products, and method for making such products. One method includes pressing a superconducting ceramic oxide powder (26) into a hollow body (24) of a material inert to oxygen; sintering the ceramic oxide powder; and then sealing any openings of the body. Optionally, a step of applying multiple pulses of alternate magnetic field to the powder during its sintering can be included. A second method includes making a high-Tc superconducting ceramic oxide thin film (100); optionally sintering the thin film in a furnace (102), while a magnetic field is applied through use of solenoids (106); and then removing partial oxygen content of the thin film through use of a scanning tunneling electron treatment machine (114, 116, 120) thereby forming an insulation layer between two high-Tc superconducting domains of the thin film.
摘要:
An automated facility for the large-scale production of superconducting magnets for use in a particle accelerator. Components of the automated facility include: a superconducting coil winding machine; a coil form and cure press apparatus; a coil collaring press; collar pack assembly apparatus; yoke half stacking apparatus; a cold mass assembly station; and a final assembly station. The facility can produce, on an economical manufacturing basis, magnets made of superconducting material for use in the ring of the particle accelerator. Each of the components is under the control of a programmable controller for operation having repeatable accuracy. All of the elements which are combined to form the superconducting magnet are thus manufactured with the dimensional precision required to produce a known, uniform magnetic field within the accelerator.

A magnet structure for particle acceleration includes at least two coils that include a continuous path of superconducting material (e.g. niobium tin (Nb3Sn) having an A15-type crystal structure) for electric current flow there through. The coils can be mounted in a bobbin, which together with the coils form a cold-mass structure. The coils are cooled to their superconducting temperatures via cryocoolers. Radial-tension members are coupled with the cold-mass structure to keep it centered, such that it remains substantially symmetrical about a central axis and is not pulled out of alignment by magnetic forces acting thereon. A wire can be wrapped around the coils, and a voltage can be applied thereto to quench the coils to prevent their operation of the coils in a partially superconducting condition, which may otherwise cause damage thereto. A magnetic yoke surrounds the cold-mass structure and includes a pair of poles that, in part, define an acceleration chamber there between. The inner surfaces of the poles have tapered profiles that establish a correct weak focusing requirement and that provide phase stability for ion acceleration and that reduce pole diameter by increasing energy gain versus radius. An integral magnetic shield is positioned about the yoke to contain magnetic fields emanating there from and can have a tortuous configuration to contain magnetic fields having a variety of orientations. The magnet structure can be very compact and can produce particularly high magnetic fields.
摘要:
The magnetic field in an acceleration chamber defined by a magnet structure is shaped by shaping the poles of a magnetic yoke and/or by providing additional magnetic coils to produce a magnetic field in the median acceleration plane that decreases with increasing radial distance from a central axis. The magnet structure is thereby rendered suitable for the acceleration of charged particles in a synchrocyclotron. The magnetic field in the median acceleration plane is 'coil-dominated,' meaning that a strong majority of the magnetic field in the median acceleration plane is directly generated by a pair of primary magnetic coils (e.g., superconducting coils) positioned about the acceleration chamber, and the magnet structure is structured to provide both weak focusing and phase stability in the acceleration chamber. The magnet structure can be very compact and can produce particularly high magnetic fields.

In order to provide coils with windings (12) consisting of superconductors which make robust contact-making possible given simple production, an electrically conductive connection piece (30) with a base region (31), which is connected areally to the winding end (19), and a top region (32) for connecting the conductor (15) is provided for contact-making purposes, the base region (31) of said connection piece (30) being covered partially in the radial direction by a reinforcing insert (14), which is cast into the plastic (20) and at least partially surrounds the winding (12).
