Summary

LARGE FORCED CONVECTION-COOLED SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETS CAN LOC ALLY BECOME NORMAL CONDUCTING DUE TO A TEMPERATURE RISE INITIATED BY AN ENERGY DISTURBANCE. IF THIS DISTURBANCE IS TOO LARGE THE CONDUCTOR WILL QUENCH. FOR A SMALL DISTURBANCE THE COOLANT, A SUPERCRITICAL HELIUM FLOW, WILL BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE DISSIPATED ENERGY AND THE CONDUCTOR WILL RETURN TO ITS SUPERCONDUCTING STATE. IN THIS PAPER THE CRITICAL DISTURBANCE FROM WHICH RECOVERY IS STILL POSSIBLE IS CALCULATED.
