Description
The SM18 superconducting magnet test facility has a long-standing history and large capacity for testing superconducting magnets for accelerators. Existing cooling capacity includes 1.9 K or 4.5 K helium bath cooling, as used in LHC and HL-LHC magnets, and helium gas cooling from 5 to 80 K, used for HTS magnet tests, mostly within the HFM program. For 2027, a new cryostat insert is in development to provide conduction cooling and helium channel cooling while the magnet remains in vacuum.
Another ongoing development is cold electronics, which aims to provide signal amplification and noise reduction from the measurements and could have a strong impact on instrumentation and diagnostics, including voltage, acoustic, magnetic, and quench antenna measurements. In this contribution, the advancement in test station cooling methods for HTS magnets, as well as the advancement in instrumentation and electronics, will be discussed.
