A Superconducting Magnet with Center Field of 10 T and φ100 mm Warm Bore

Aconduction-cooled superconducting magnet with central field of 10Tand warmbore of 100 mmwas designed based on a Nb3Sn and two NbTi superconducting coils.At the first stage,the NbTi coils havebeen fabricated andtested.Atwo-stage 4 KGifford-McMahon(GM) cryocooler withthe second-stage powerin1W,4.2Kis used to cool the magnet fromroomtemperature to 4 K.The superconducting magnet with thesame power supply has the operating current of 116A.The magnet can be rotated with a support frame to beoperated with either horizontal or vertical position.Apair of Bi-2223 hightemperature superconductingcurrentleads was employedto reduce heat leakage into 4.2Klevel.The NbTi coils reachto the operating current of120Awithout training effect to be observed duringchargingof the magnet during40 minutes chargingtime andgenerate the center field of 6.5T.The training effect inthe NbTi magnet directly cool-down by cryocooler andinter-winding support structure in magnet can be remarkablyimproved.The superconducting magnet has beenstably operatedfor more than 275 hours with 6.5T.In this paper,the detailed design,fabrication,stressanalysis and quench protection characteristics are presented.

STCF conceptual design report (Volume 1): Physics & detector

The superτ-charm facility(STCF)is an electron–positron collider proposed by the Chinese particle physics community.It is designed to operate in a center-of-mass energy range from 2 to 7 GeV with a peak luminosity of 0.5×10^(35) cm^(–2)·s^(–1) or higher.The STCF will produce a data sample about a factor of 100 larger than that of the presentτ-charm factory—the BEPCII,providing a unique platform for exploring the asymmetry of matter-antimatter(charge-parity violation),in-depth studies of the internal structure of hadrons and the nature of non-perturbative strong interactions,as well as searching for exotic hadrons and physics beyond the Standard Model.The STCF project in China is under development with an extensive R&D program.This document presents the physics opportunities at the STCF,describes conceptual designs of the STCF detector system,and discusses future plans for detector R&D and physics case studies.

Eutectic-reaction brazing of Al_(0.3)CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloys using Ni/Nb/Ni interlayers

In this study,a novel eutectic-reaction brazing of Al_(0.3)CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloys(HEAs)^(1)was investigated with a design of laminated Ni/Nb/Ni interlayers.The typical Al_(0.3)CoCrFeNi brazing seam consisted of proeutecticγ,the lamellar eutectic structure composed of face-centered cubic(FCC)phase(eutecticγ)and C14 Laves,as well as a few amounts of Nb based solid solution.A high density of nanoscale ordered L1_(2)(γ)phase was precipitated withinγphase matrix.With the brazing temperature raised from 1200 to 1320℃,the dissolution volume of Al_(0.3)CoCrFeNi alloy into Ni-Nb liquid was increased.The microstructure of the brazing seam changed from hypereutectic(blocky Laves+γphase)to eutectic(Laves+eutecticγ)to hypoeutectic structures(proeutecticγ+Laves/γeutectic structure).The shear strength of joints was increased gradually due to the formation of eutectic lamellae and the cellular growth of proeutecticγphase.The maximum shear strength of the joint brazed at 1320℃for 10 min was up to 592 MPa,reaching 95%of the base metal.The joint mainly ruptured in the soft proeutecticγphase in a ductile fracture mode.

Nucleon-pair approximation with uncoupled representation

In this paper,we propose an approach to nucleon-pair approximation(NPA)with m-scheme bases,in which the collective nucleon pairs are represented in terms of antisymmetric matrices,and commutations between nucleon pairs are given using a matrix multiplication that avoids angular-momentum couplings and recouplings.Therefore the present approach significantly simplifies the NPA computation.Furthermore,it is formulated on the same footing with and without isospin.
