Acoustic emission diagnostic and monitoring techniques for superconducting magnets

  • 1. Yokohama National Univ., Yokohama

Description

Acoustic emission (AE) diagnostic and monitoring techniques have proven powerful in identifying and understanding causes that affect the performance of superconducting magnets. This paper reviews our recent progress in this area, focusing in the applications to: 1) quench source identification, 2) disturbance energy quantification, 3) normal-zone detection, 4) strained Nb3Sn wires, and 5) electric arc detection. Future directions of research needed to achieve better reliablity are briefly discussed
