EUCARD magnet development

The FP7-EuCARD work package 7 (WP7), "HFM: Superconducting High Field Magnets for higher luminosities and energies" is a collaboration between 12 European institutes and firms with the objective of developing high field magnet technology. WP7 foresees to construct a 13 T dipole with a 100 mm aperture, a B = 6 T high temperature superconductor (HTS) dipole insert, a superconducting HTS link and a superconducting helical undulator.Comment: 5 pages, contribution to the EuCARD-AccNet-EuroLumi Workshop: The High-Energy Large Hadron Collider, Malta, 14 -- 16 Oct 2010; CERN Yellow Report CERN-2011-003, pp. 45-4

Modulation equations near the Eckhaus boundary: the KdV equation

We are interested in the description of small modulations in time and space of wave-train solutions to the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation \begin{align*} \partial_T \Psi = (1+ i \alpha) \partial_X^2 \Psi + \Psi - (1+i \beta ) \Psi |\Psi|^2, \end{align*} near the Eckhaus boundary, that is, when the wave train is near the threshold of its first instability. Depending on the parameters $\alpha$, $\beta$ a number of modulation equations can be derived, such as the KdV equation, the Cahn-Hilliard equation, and a family of Ginzburg-Landau based amplitude equations. Here we establish error estimates showing that the KdV approximation makes correct predictions in a certain parameter regime. Our proof is based on energy estimates and exploits the conservation law structure of the critical mode. In order to improve linear damping we work in spaces of analytic functions.Comment: 44 pages, 8 figure

The CERN High Field Magnet Program

With the LHC, magnets of 10 T peak flux density Nb-Ti technology were developed and this technology reached full maturity. The next step in flux density level, with a peak in the range of 15 T, will be needed for the LHC Phase II upgrade. For this upgrade the temperature margin and radiation resistance of the Nb-Ti coil technology is not sufficient. Beginning 2008 CERN started a program to develop high field magnets for LHC upgrades and other future programs. For this mostly Nb$_{3}$Sn conductors will be employed, but also HTS conductors will be considered. In this paper an overview will be presented of the projects for which this HFM technology will be needed. The program will be presented in terms of R&D chapters and work packages. The need and opportunities for collaborations with other institutes will be discussed

COMBINING TUBERCULOSIS AND LEPROSY SERVICES IN ONE PROGRAMME

ABSTRACT Reasons are provided for considering combining the services for leprosy and tuberculosis in one programme. Advantages and disadvantages of the combination are reviewed for leprosy and for tuberculosis separately. The place of a partly integrated special programme in general services with a primary health care concept is indicated and the potentially important role of the community health agent briefly described
