Abstract
We have been developing mgnets utilizing high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wire. A scanning magnet was designed, fabricated, and tested for its suitability as beam scanner. After successful cooling tests, the magnet performance was studied using DC and AC currents. In AC mode, the magnet was operated at frequencies of 30-59Hz and a temperature of 77K as well as 10-20Hz and 20K. The power loss dissipated in the coils was measured and compared with the model calculations. The observed loss per cycle was independent of the frequency and the scaling law of the excitation current was consistent with theoretical predictions for hysteretic losses in HTS wires. As the next step, a 3T dipole magnet is under construction now.
