Development and validation of advanced numerical models for superconducting magnets
Haichen Wang, Professor
Physics
Closed. This professor is continuing with Spring 2024 apprentices on this project; no new apprentices needed for Fall 2024.
Do you want to contribute to the development of future particle colliders?
We are currently developing key analysis tools for future superconducting magnets.
The main scope of these tools will be the ability to predict the superconting coil mechanical properties and failure mechanisms during their operation.
We are looking for highly motivated students to participate in the development and experimental validation of these tools. Ideally, the student would have the following skills:
A good understanding of structural mechanics fundamentals
Basic coding/data processing in Matlab and/or Python
Role: The activities will be performed partially remotely, and might include some or all of the following:
- Numerical/analytical modeling of superconducting coils
- Design and construction of experimental tests to validate the models
- Data acquisition and analysis of the measurements
Hours: to be negotiated
Off-Campus Research Site: This project will be performed remotely and will be directed by LBNL scientist Giorgio Vallone, et al.
