Abstract

The upgrading of the JT-60U to the JT-60SA has started in a joint effort by the Japanese government (JA) and European commission (EU) under the framework of the Broader Approach (BA) Agreement. The superconducting magnet system for the JT-60SA consists of 18 toroidal field (TF) coils, a central solenoid (CS) with four modules, and six equilibrium field (EF) coils. The TF case encloses the winding pack and is the main structural component of the magnet system. The CS consists of independent winding pack modules, which are hung from the top of the TF coils through its pre-load structure. The six EF coils are attached to the TF coil case through supports with flexible plates that allow radial displacement. The CS modules operate at high field and use a Nb3Sn superconductor. The TF coils and EF coils use NbTi superconductors. This paper describes the technical requirements, operational interface and detailed manufacturing design outline of the superconducting magnet system for the JT-60SA.
