Laboratory for Superconducting Application to Accelerator Technologies

Facility Ma.Ri.S.A for the characterization of high current superconducting cables:

  • Liquifier TCF20 + He recovery plant
  • B=6 T- 8T  Large Bore Superconducting Solenoid
  • Three High Mag. Field Systems (up to 15T)

 

 

  • Magnetic field up to 8 T and up to 440 mm warm bore
  • Current up to 80 kA
  • Temperature down to 2.0 K

 

 

Main activities in the past 25 years:

  1. Critical current of 30 cables for HERA sc dipoles
  2. Test of prototype cables for LHC dipoles and detectors
  3. Test of all cables used in BaBar sc solenoid
  4. Test of all conductors of CMS sc solenoid
  5. Test of prototype cables of  SIS300 prototype dipole
  6. Test of 40 conductors of Mu2e solenoids (under way)

Superconducting Magnet Developments

Main activities are related to design and industrial follow-up of superconducting magnets for accelerators and detectors:

Prototype SC module for Mu2e (Fermilab)
The 1.5 SC coil for the BaBar experiment (SLAC)
The very large SC magnet for the CMS experiment (CERN)
The SC prototype for the SIS300 synchrotron (FAIR – joint work with Milano and Napoli divisions)
