Superconducting magnets for accelerators

Accelerators Martin N Wilson (Rutherford Lab ⇒ Oxford Instruments ⇒ CERN ⇒ consultant) Outline • why bother with superconductivity? • properties of superconductors: critical field, temperature & current density • magnetic fields and how to create them • load lines, training and how to cure it • screening currents and the critical state model • fine filaments, composite wires & cables • magnetization, field errors & ac losses • quenching and protection • hardware • where to get more info
