Particular emphasis is given to the design and construction of superconducting magnets also thanks to the external support of ASG Superconductors TEACHING METHODS Combination of traditional lectures (40 hours), tutorial for finite element computation (8 hours) and a visit to an industry involved in superconducting magnet development (4 hours) SYLLABUS/CONTENT Introduction to cryogenics and refrigerator systems for low temperatures. Superconducting wires and cables for application in magnets. Superconducting magnet lay-outs: solenoid, dipole, quadrupole, toroid. Ac losses in superconducting wires and magnets. Stability with respect to thermal disturbances. Quench to the normal state and protection. Mechanical problems Introduction to particle accelerators. Superconducting magnets for accelerators and large detectors. Finite element methods involved in the design of superconducting magnets. RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY 1) M.N.
