Abstract
The basic design of a 2 GeV fixed field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerator was proposed by China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) in 2019. A preliminary study of high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet for the 2 GeV FFAG accelerator lattice scheme was carried out, considering the beam loss of high energy proton beams and energy efficiency of the main machine. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of manufacturing a spiral-shaped HTS magnet with concave edges based on ReBCO tapes, a 1:4 scaled HTS model magnet is being developed in CIAE. First, the design and fabrication of the 1:4 scaled prototype HTS magnet with concave edges will be described in detail. Then, each double pancake (DP) was tested by liquid nitrogen (LN) immersion. The terminal voltage and magnetic field variation were measured and simulated. Finally, the whole assembled HTS magnet was cooled down to 23 K using helium gas pipeline contact cooling and operated on 300 A for over 24 hours. The central magnetic field reached 719.5 mT, without iron. More detailed electromagnetic characteristics of the magnet during the excitation will be illustrated, which is much helpful for the fabrication of the final full-size HTS magnets.
