Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Losses in Electrodynamic Transients in a Nb3Sn Prototype Racetrack Coil

The detailed knowledge of the current and losses distribution during the electrodynamic transients is of great importance for the design of superconducting accelerator magnets made of Rutherford cable. On the one hand, the current distribution affects the field harmonics generated by the superconducting magnet; on the other hand, losses strongly affect the design of the cryogenic system and may je...
