Rutherford-type type Cables Filaments (6 μm each) Wire/strand (6,300 filaments) Rutherford cable (36 strands) Transposed cable: every wire changes places with every other wire along the length of the cable, to decouple the wires with respect to their own self field and promote a uniform current distribution. Rutherford-type cables can be compacted to a high density (88 94 %) and rolled to a good dimensional accuracy. http://lhc-machine-outreach.web.cern.ch

Generation of Multipole Fields In superconducting magnet, field shape is defined by position of each conductor (that carries current) in the coil. Current distribution Magnetic field B B θ r ( r, θ ) ( r, θ ) μ0i = 2a μ0i = 2a 0 0 r a r a I ( φ) = I0 cos( mφ), m = order of multipole m 1 m 1 cos( mθ ) sin( mθ ) y beam axis y r θ P a φ B R x current in z direction r θ B θ B r x
Generation of Multipole Fields I ( φ) = I0 cos( mφ) Current distribution can be created by multiple intersecting circles/ellipses carrying constant current densities (J) in different directions. -J y +J x The field inside the current free region is computed by superimposing the field produced by the conductors.

Concluding Remarks Magnet is the most important application of superconductivity. Superconducting magnets provide high magnetic fields, which are required for high-energy and/or compact accelerators. NbTi has been used the most. Magnetic field profiles from superconducting magnets are determined by position of superconducting coils, which can be obtained at high accuracy. Advantages of superconducting insertion devices: - High field increases photon energies - High flexibility - Smaller period for the same peak field - New research possibilities
