Power Test of the Second-Generation Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) Nb3Sn Damping Wiggler Short Model
In the frame of the compact linear collider project, a high-field short-period superconducting damping wigglers will be required to reduce the emittance of the electron and positron beams. The use of Nb3Sn as superconducting material is being investigated, as a valid option for its smaller size and increased working margin. At CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, a second Nb3Sn damping wiggler short model has been developed, assembled, and tested. In this paper, the cold power test of that magnet is discussed in terms of training, quench detection, protection, endurance, and other tests.
