High-Performance ( Adiabatic ) Magnet J over enhanced by: Combining superconductor and high-strength normal metal (stability; protection; mechanical). Eliminating local coolant* and impregnating the entire winding space unoccupied by conductor with epoxy, making the entire winding as one monolithic structural entity. (Presence of cooling in the winding makes the winding mechanically weak and takes up the conductor space.) High-performance approach universally used for NMR, MRI, HEP dipoles & quadrupoles in which R J B manageable with a combination of composite conductor & monolithic entity. * The conductor always requires cooling but not necessarily exposed directly to the coolant. Y. Iwasa (04/24/03) 46
MPZ Concept* Even in an adiabatic magnet, a small normal-state region may remain stable: g j is balance by thermal conduction to the outside region.

Cryostable Magnets (continued) Observations [J c0 ] cd determined by external parameters. Applied for large magnets (e.g. fusion) in which non-conducting structural materials occupy a significant fraction of the winding pack, making the condition [J c0 ] cd << [J c0 ] s not as important as in adiabatic magnets. Note that coolant, though a key component in a cryostable magnet, is a structural detriment. Y. Iwasa (04/24/03) 53
Adiabatic (High-Performance) Magnets e h g k g j g d g q 0 Observations Elimination of coolant within the winding: 1) enhances the overall current density; 2) makes the winding pack structurally robust. [J c0 ] cd no longer limited by external parameters but primarily by [J c0 ] s. Disturbances (g d ) must be eradicated or their energies minimized impregnation of the winding with epoxy resin a widely used technique. High-performance magnets: NMR, MRI, HEP. Y. Iwasa (04/24/03) 54
Mechanical Disturbances Premature Quenches & Training Important for adiabatic magnets; not so for cryostable magnets. Through the use of AE (acoustic emission) technique, it has been demonstrated that virtually every premature quench in adiabatic magnets is induced by a mechanical event, primarily either conductor motion or epoxy fracture. Mechanical events usually obey the Kaiser effect, mechanical behavior in cyclic loading in which mechanical disturbances, e.g., conductor motion, epoxy fracture, appear only when the loading responsible for events exceeds the maximum level achieved in the previous loading sequence. An adiabatic magnet thus generally trains and improves its performance progressively to the point where it finally reaches its design operating current. Y. Iwasa (04/24/03) 55

Identification of Quench Causes A combination of voltage and AE monitoring permits identification of three distinguished causes of a quench in adiabatic magnets. Conductor motion: a voltage spike and the start of AE signals. Epoxy fracture: no voltage spike but AE signals. Critical current: no voltage spike nor AE signals. Y. Iwasa (04/24/03) 60
