sPHENIX discussion of the superconducting solenoid

["Yip, Kin" <kinyip AT bnl.gov>]

 

Hi,

 

You can find the minutes/recommendations from the May 17 (2021) ESRC Review here:

https://www.c-ad.bnl.gov/esfd/ESRC%20Files/RHIC/sPHENIX/17May2021_sPHENIX%20non-Cryogenic%20Magnet%20Power%20Supply%20Quench%20Protection%20and%20Safety.txt.pdf

 

 

There are only 2 recommendations:

1) Add covers to the ends of the magnet, to prevent magnetic materials being pulled in when the magnet is turned on.

2) Develop a procedure for sweeping before ramping the magnet.

 

Russell Feder told us that he’ll develop the sweeping procedure together with work permit.

 

For (1), John and I have chatted about it.     I guess we somehow find something non-metallic to somehow block the hole.

( We or I don’t really feel that it’ll be a real problem. )
