The presentation will focus mainly on the description of the magnetic and mechanical design of the racetrack model coil (RMC) dipole magnet realized at CERN. Based on the short model coil (SMC) dipole magnet, the RMC represents an upgrade of the SMC’ structure in order to test a FRESCA 2 cable. Every magnet is a part of the European project EuCARD, for which the initial aim of the SMC is to perform R&D on the Nb3Sn coil fabrication technology while testing Nb3Sn superconducting cables. The baseline design features two double-layer racetrack coils, within a support structure based on bladders and keys technology and surrounded by an aluminum shell. Following successful tests of SMC structures, modifications were implemented in the design of the coil parts and support structure in order to accommodate wider cables. While making a valid contribution to the development of the Nb3Sn magnets technology, the final goal of the high field magnet project is to design, build, and test the FRESCA 2 magnet. Additional slides are available upon requests on projects realized at CERN during my fellowship contract: supervision and decision making between industrial actors and management committee for the assessment and qualification of a 3D rapid prototyping machine bought by CERN based on market and technological analysis; analysis of the literature of irradiation effect on fiber reinforced resins and its resulting degradation; developed the Q.A. plan for the busbar production; analysis of the literature of new techniques of cold soldering using liquid metal and metallic powder as composite solid solutions; FE and analytical mechanical analysis in support to the LHC’ splice consolidation effort.
