Abstract :
The baseline design for the SSC (Superconducting Super Collider) high energy booster (HEB) has dipole bending magnets with a 50-mm aperture. An analysis of the cryogenic heat load due to AC losses generated in the HEB ramp cycle is reported for this magnet. Included in this analysis are losses from superconductor hysteresis, yoke hysteresis, strand eddy currents, and cable eddy currents. The AC loss impact of 2.5 μm vs. 6 μm filament conductor is presented. A 60-mm aperture design is also investigated
