Acoustic emission instrumentation for a superconducting dipole

  • 1. MIT, Cambridge, MA

Description

An instrumentation system for real-time location of acoustic emission (AE) events and identification of sources has been developed for monitoring high-performance superconducting dipoles and quadrupoles used in high-energy accelerators. AE energy, event count, and time of occurrence are extracted in hard-wired circuitry; digitized, stored, and transferred to a PDP-11/23 microcomputer. The system uses first hit method of event detection, with a time resolution of 30 μs - a substantial improvement over currently available commercial AE equipment. The system can be used for up to six AE channels simultaneously
