Introduction
Are you interested in research, design and optimization of the protection methods of Nb3Sn and High Critical Temperature Superconducting (HTS) magnets for future particle accelerators? Take Part!
Within the TE Department, the MPE group provides support to the operation of the entire accelerator complex and develops, operates and maintains state of the art technology for magnet circuit protection and interlock systems.
The superconducting magnet circuits of CERN's largest accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), operate with currents of up to 12 kA and stored energies of more than 1 GJ. The TE-MPE-PE section develops tools to better understand the behaviour and protection of these circuits, conducts studies of emerging protection issues, and monitors the evolution of their performance, see also https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/viewauth/TEMPEPE/ . Furthermore, the section participates in all design studies for the magnet circuits of upcoming upgrades of the LHC and future accelerators.
Functions
As applied physicist in the TE-MPE-PE Section, you will:
- Design and optimize quench detection and protection systems of LTS and HTS high-field magnets;
- Develop new strategies, methods/techniques and tools for improved quench detection and protection beyond the state-of-the-art;
- Contribute to the further development of specific computer tools/models, often based on commercial software, as part of the framework for the simulation of steady-state and transient effects in superconducting wires, cables, magnets, and circuits;
- Cross-check the above-mentioned tools against other existing computer codes (if available) and validate the tools by means of experimental data obtained during tests on LTS and HTS model coils and magnets;
- Supervise technical and possibly doctoral students working on development of technology and tools for protection of high-field magnets.
