Scope

Working scope of the technical program

Key challenges in magnets to be addressed with diagnostics
·  Understanding mechanical and magnetic transients that lead to quenching
·   Understanding training: sources, physics, statistics, mitigation
·  Conductors: effect of stress, identification of defects
·  Quench detection using different physical mechanisms (magnetic, thermal, resistive, inductive, capacitive, etc.)

Traditional and novel instrumentation, probes and techniques
·  High resolution voltage-based diagnostics
·  Magnetic measurement techniques (rotating probes, quench antennas, other magnetic sensors)
·  Strain measurement techniques
·  Acoustic emission diagnostics and related techniques
·  Ideas for new techniques, sensors or instrumentation

Methodology, processing and management of data
·  Synergy of diagnostic techniques: making good choices for magnet testing
·  Data collection and review: visualization, web interfaces, databases, etc.
·  Software and algorithms for magnet data analysis
·  Machine learning for understanding magnet performance limitations and facilitating magnet design

Electronics and hardware
·  Integrated solutions for data acquisition, conditioning and storage
·  Innovative components for diagnostic instrumentation
·  Cryogenic electronics for magnets
