Quench Analysis of EIC Central Detector (ePIC) Solenoid Magnet (MARCO)
The 2.0 T superconducting solenoid magnet (MARCO) being designed to be built for the EIC central detector (ePIC). The magnet consists of three sets of coil in a vacuum impregnated pack. Each coil pack consists of a total of 554 turns wound with 6 layers of winding per coil. The coil case assembly is cooled by supercritical helium at 4.6 K. This manuscript presents quench analysis carried out on the magnet system along with the conductor stability. For the normal operation the magnet at 4.6 K and at normal operating current, the quench evaluation is carried out at 4.7 K for design assessment. The quench analysis carried out using commercial multi-physics FEA tool along an equivalent single coil quench model, and the requirements for the magnet protection are presented.
