Summary

A SMALL SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET COIL HAS BEEN QUENCHED TO DETERMINE THE RATE OF DECAY OF CURRENT IN THE COIL AND TO MEASURE THE TEMPERATURES IN THE COIL INDUCED BY THE QUENCH. THE MEASURED CURRENT DECAY AND THE TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN COMPARED WITH THE THEORETICAL PREDICTIONS. TWO SETS OF EXPERIMENTS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED: THE FIRST SET RESULTS IN A TWO-DIMENSIONAL QUENCH PROPAGATION, WHILE THE SECOND ONE RESULTS IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL QUENCH PROPAGATION THROUGH THE COIL. THE RESULTS OF THE EXPERIMENT AGREE CLOSELY WITH THOSE OF THE PREDICTIONS.
