Trainee in Radiation Effect On Rebco Superconductors

Vor 6 Tagen

Villigen PSI, Schweiz Paul Scherrer Institut PSI Vollzeit

**Your tasks**:
- An experimental campaign is needed to find out whether HTS superconducting magnets are compatible with the radioactive environment of the PSI proton accelerator. The goal of the experiment is to place a superconducting magnet in a strongly irradiated spot, to measure the corresponding integrated dose and to monitor online its performance in terms of critical current. The experimental results will then be compared with literature data and simulation results to better understand the mechanisms responsible for the degradation of the superconducting performance and the feasibility of using superconducting magnets in the PSI proton accelerator.

The main tasks related to the internship are:

- Conduct a literature survey on the state of research on radiation effect on superconductors
- Contribute to:

- Design a demonstration coil wound with HTS tape to be exposed to radiation
- Improve the experimental setup to wind the coil(s)
- Wind a demonstrator
- Define the measurement procedure and the required instrumentation

**Your profile**:

- You are a student in engineering or physics, and you are at least in your first year of Master study
- Knowledge in radiation protection, heat transfer and preparation of experimental setups
- As a team‐oriented and communicative person you enjoy working in an interdisciplinary group
- Good English knowledge is required
- You have not yet completed your Master’s thesis

**We offer**:

- Our institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration.This contract will be limited to 3 months.
