Quench Start Localization in Full-Length SSC R&D Dipoles

Full-length SSC R&D dipole magnets instrumented with four voltage taps on each turn of the inner quarter coils have been tested. These voltage taps enable (1) accurate location of the point at which the quenches start and (2) detailed studies of quench development in the coil. Attention here is focused on localizing the quench source. After recalling the basic mechanism of a quench (why it occurs and how it propagates), the method of quench origin analysis is described: the quench propagation velocity on the turn where the quench occurs is calculated, and the quench location is then verified by reiterating the analysis on the adjacent turns. Last, the velocity value, which appears to be higher than previously measured, is discussed.
